You might go to your local big box hardware store and get a roll of what is essentially foil coated bubble wrap and cut pieces to size. It might be a cheaper option. It would be where insulation is located.

Good day, I thought I would pass along what we have to stop the light from shining in through the front window, over the head of the bed.

We found one of those folding, shiny, flexible 1/2 ton truck window light reflectors that almost perfectly fits in the window behind the trailer blinds.

We can put it in before bed and take it out once we get up if we want...almost 0 light gets in!

Hope this helps,

9 years ago, after fussing with the awful curtain that covered the rear window on our 177 for two years,  it was removed and replaced it with a 2x cellular shade from Blinds.com.  It is still fully functional today and what I like about it is that it is instant up or down when light or privacy is desired.  You can get any size, color, flavor you want and yes, blackout shades are available as well.  For all the side windows 1" wide white wooden blinds were the choice, much more 'homey' and quiet.

So I pretty much hate the metal blinds on my new 190. Is it easy to swap them into a fabric blind or something better? Also generally, I’d love to have blackout versions for all of the windows or a good solution to blockout the light in he mornings.
