Installing Wooden Mini Blinds for RVs

Just like a house, RVs or recreation vehicles such as motor homes also have windows. Although these windows tend to be of a lesser height than a standard window in a home, most have window blinds installed. If yours do not, you can install a mini-blind to help provide shade and privacy in your RV. The process will not differ much from installing a blind over a standard window.

Things You'll Need

• Hand drill
• Wall anchors
• Hammer
• Screwdriver

Instructions

1. Position the blind rail above the top of the window casing and center it from left to right. Mark each end of the rail with a pencil.

2. Place the mounting brackets next to the markings on the wall and mark each mounting hole on the bracket. Place the brackets off to the side.

3. Drill holes deep enough to fit wall anchors designed for drywall or paneling.

4. Drive the wall anchors into the wall with your thumb or with a hammer if the anchors do not go in easily.

5. Place the mounting brackets over the anchors and secure the mounting brackets to the wall with the supplied screws and a screwdriver.

6. Place the headrail into the mounting brackets and then slide the mounting bracket covers into place. The covers lock the headrail onto the brackets.
