We bought our new Spree Escape last June and love it - except for issues with the mini blinds. One side of the blinds in the slideout pulled completely out - screw and all. We have it back in place, braced with a new sponge folded in half. The other issue in the blinds on three sides of the front queen bed. It is all but impossible to keep from coming in contact with the blinds if they're down while asleep, but if we keep them up and out of the way light comes in - more or less, depending on where we're camping. We've already bent one of the louvers at the head of the bed so it's a problem to be sure.
So here is my question: has anyone found a workable solution? Or, has anyone found replacement window coverings the would help alleviate this problem? Thanks in advance for any advice.

This is one problem that we haven't had on our spree escape 196s.
We pull all the blinds up when moving to decrease the amount of banging that would go on. This may also put more stress on the attachment points.
We don't have a window on the front of our camper and haven't had problems with bumping the blinds while sleeping on the sides.
When the camper is stored we leave them down to keep the sunlight from beating up the interior (even though we normally also have a cover over the trailer).

Yes the blinds on the front window suck. I just pull them up and close the front cover at night. Kinda a pain.
