@EddieAtLarge I see you recommend the Mandala brand. Then in another comment, you state the Mandala brand is subpar. What brand of string do you recommend?
@EddieAtLarge
Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately, I do not have experience with any other brands. We are still working our way through the Mandala spool. The Mandala cord lasts for approximately 4-6 months of use before it wears out.

I have a nice fifth wheel that we live in full time with these blinds. We have several blinds with broken strings. After watching this video I will be attempting to fix them. I will probably be tying a knot at the spring because I don’t have the patience or dexterity to reuse the clips. Thanks 👍🏼

Hi Ron, glad this was helpful! I do have an updated video where I have installed high strength fishing leader in lieu of the lift cord. The new lift cord kept breaking on me.

Glad it was helpful Eric! Just so you know, the lift cord that I used from Amazon has been fraying and breaking just like the original. I bought some high test fishing leader and installed it on one of my binds several months ago. It’s been working great. Here’s a KZitem short that I did showing the end result. RV Blind Repair Using High Test Fishing Leader kzitem.infoPTC0f7YR2bs?feature=share It was a little more difficult to install than the cord, however, I’m certain that I won’t need to replace it again. Hope that helps!

Hey Mike, same thing happened to a few of ours. No idea where to get them replaced, however, I just took the end caps from the top and drilled a hole for the string to run through. Not a perfect fit, but, it is functional and we can’t see the end on the top where the missing piece is as the valance hides it. Hope that helps!

Hey Ed, I'd wondered where you went too. Did you and Johnny get to cross paths before he returned to the great white north? and are you going to the big Q in the desert next month? We were thinking about it if we get a wild hair. Right now we are waiting for 14 degrees tonight. Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas.

Hi John! Ya, had taken some time off from making videos, but, feel like I’m ready to start back up again. Johnny did stop down here over Thanksgiving and I think that will be in his next video. We do plan to go to Q but only for 2 or 3 nights. Leaving here on January 23rd and will arrive there on the 25th or 26th. Man, 14F. We are at 23F this morning. Lowest we’ve ever done in the rig was 17F 2 years ago during the Texas ice storm. Crazy weather this year! We’re thinking of wintering in AZ next year. Been watching the weather out there and it’s been pretty near perfect. Well, stay safe, warm and we wish you and your family a very merry Christmas!

Nice repair. I just ordered the Mandala 2mm cord from amazon. I hope it fits and isn't too tight or binds up? I'm doing all 9 shades in the RV. 4 with single strings and 5 with doubles. I'll let you know if the 2mm worked or not.
@EddieAtLarge
Жыл бұрын
Hey Frank. Glad to hear our video was helpful. The 2 mm size works well, however, the Mandala brand isn’t a very strong string. It only lasts about 2-4 months before it breaks. I haven’t tried any other brands yet, but, I would recommend canceling your order and trying a different brand. Please let us know if you find another brand that works well for you. Thanks!

While investigating my new-to-me day/night shades in my older winnebago, the string came unattached from one side at the very bottom (from the peg that's in the wall) and then the tip of said string disappeared. Did it go into the bottom of the blind? How the heck do I retrieve it? I don't want to make this situation much worse. Freaking out, here. Please help.

Yes, it would have went into the bottom of the blind. Just follow what we did on the video to open the end, remove the slide piece and retrieve the string. Then put back together in reverse.
