Embarking on a caravan journey merges the thrill of exploration with the solace of nature, all while guaranteeing optimal comfort. A pivotal element ensuring such comfort is the caravan window blinds. They not only offer an intimate space but also shield from external elements and regulate the influx of sunlight. Let's dive deep into the myriad of caravan window models and their blind options provided by leading brands like Dometic, Camec, and Aussie Traveller. Whether you desire blockout blinds equipped with flyscreens or are contemplating alternatives like curtains, this guide furnishes a detailed overview of each offering.

Note: Unfortunately in 2023 Dometic Australia stopped offering the range.
Features: These wind-out windows come standard with fixed flyscreens.
Compatibility: Given the protruding control box and winder handle, they aren't generally conducive to blinds. Curtains emerge as the most viable alternative.
Aussie Travellers's Selection of Window Treatments
1. Aussie Traveller Wind-Out Windows:
Aussie Traveller Wind-Out Windows
Features: These wind-out windows come standard with fixed flyscreens.
Compatibility: These are in line with the Camec offering, where curtains are predominantly the favored choice.
2. Eurovision / Eurovision 2 Windows:
Eurovision 2 Window & Blind
Features: Supplied with a tailored internal frame that houses both a blockout blind and midge screen. Eurovision internal blinds a constructed with a sleek white powder-coated aluminium frame.
Compatibility: Available independently, they can be seamlessly retrofitted to other pushout window models. Installation is a breeze, requiring just 4 screws anchored straight into the wall. Perfect for any flat wall without protruding winders.
If you are not matching up to a EuroVision Window simply use the Overall and Internal Opening Dimensions to select the suitable size. They are designed to be installed on flat walls without obstructions, remember to consider winders or catches that may protrude past the inside wall.
Re-tensioning a EuroVision window blind is quite simple. If the blinds are fitted with block-out at the bottom (rising up) and screen at the top (pulling down), the adjustment only needs to be made to top right side of blind. Please be sure to read through The Instructions completely before beginning.
Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a guide advising the number of turns required to tension a Seitz S4 blind roller and specifically one to suit a 1450mm wide window. I thought I read it somewhere within CVP's guides but now can't seem to find it.
From memory I think the number of turns was related to the length of the blind?
Any assistance will be most welcome.
Thanks,
Peter Gohl
