Buying used caravan blinds isn’t something that is common place but if what ever reason your caravan blind stops working properly there are places you can visit to replace a blind part or even the whole caravan blind. One of the most common reasons for blinds to break is often drivers towing the van with the blinds down, this puts extra pressure on the clips as well as the tension springs. Extra pressure on the clips with eventually have the effect of breaking them off or in some cases the continual movement of the clip in its holder will cause the space into which the clip fits to become so large the tiny clip can no longer stay in place. If the spring lose their tension you can adjust these to become tighter but only to a certain amount, after that no more tightening is possible and you will have to replace the springs on your caravan blinds.
Looking for used caravan blinds or accessories shouldn’t be too difficult and you would have two simple options, either a caravan breakers or on eBay. The latter is a great place to find those small accessories like caravan blind end inserts or caravan spring roller blind end piece. eBay can also be a great place to find used caravan blinds, caravan rooflights and combined caravan blinds and flyscreens. Caravan breakers are rather sparsely dotted across the UK but many of them will post items to you, rather than you going to them. The main advantage of the breakers over eBay is they will have a larger selection of used caravan parts available and more often than not if it’s a used caravan blind your after they will have the correct size in stock for you.
