Blinds for window over dinette and bed

Hi everyone, We have a 20' 2007 Safari LS. There are blinds on the bath and in the kitchen area. But there are curtains on the dinette and the bed windows. We'd really like to have blinds there instead. Has anyone ever changed them out? Where can I look for some? Hopefully we can use existing screws to attach so we don't have to drill any holes. Any advise will be greatly appreciated. Also the fridge fan to keep the fridge running more efficiently. Any replace fans that are quieter. And one more thing, is there an Airstream Manual for Dummies. Our owners manual is lousy, Thanks all - happy camping.

We bought ours from Blinds.com for both front and rear center windows on the panoramic windows. Very easy to install. Order exact length by 4' wide. Brushed aluminum. They match the other blinds perfectly. Very reasonable, quick delivery.

Sorry to reply to an old post, but I purchased 1" aluminum blinds from The Home Depot on-line and they installed under my existing curtains beautifully. I'm now working on a strategy to make the blinds closely follow the contour of the curved windows (just posted this question a few minutes ago.)

You can find many posts about alternate fan choices for your unit. This link is a good start and as reference to others.

Where did you get your day/night shades installed? Can you post a pic. I would love to see them.
