After many years of leaving my blinds down on my caravan while I am away, I have been informed that this is not recommended because the heat build up between the window and the blind can damage the window. It is recommended that the curtains be drawn instead.

Anyone with any thoughts on this subject?

Regards

like you we used to leave our blinds down while the tin tent wasn't in use, we don't now as we were advised by several more experienced 'vanners that leaving them down can cause the damage you mention but can also damage the spring units in the blinds them selves, seems if left down for long periods it some how causes the springs to stretch.

any way now we just keep the curtains closed
