Picked up van today!

[scottiemad]

Introduce ourselves a few weeks back. Picked up the van today - our first - what a glorious sunny day to collect it - shame we had to go back to work otherwises would have been tempted to drvie far far away! We are very new to caravanning and have never towed anything before. Hubby did the towing course in September. Left the van in storage and pulled all curtains shut and the fron curtains don't meet in the middle (about 2 feet gap.) Phoned the dealer and this model (Avondale Arrow) only had dress curtians at the front which are not meant to meet! Can buy proper fitting ones for over £120 extra! Didn't have anything else to put up window so turned all the cushions over as didn't want the brilliant sunshine today to start fading our gorgeous new upholostery straight away!

If it only has dress curtains it must have blinds, these pull down from the top.

I am not sure that you can or have been able to buy caravans without blinds now or for several years.

Hi,

I agree with JCS.You should have blinds on all windows,as they are now fitted as standard to modern vans.You will also probably find that you also have fly screens.

If you leave the blinds down for long periods, you will stretch the springs then they will be down perminantly.
