Where can I find a stringing diagram for the pleated blinds used in the 195? I've looked on-line and I have found videos for repairing a 2 string day/night blind. However, my 195 has a 4 string pleated shade over the side window as well as the front and back windows. One of the videos said go to the shade manufacturer's website and download it. However, I can't determine who the manufacturer is.

We have a call into Forest River to see if they can direct us to the manufacturer or a stringing diagram. If someone has restrung the four string blinds, please let me know. The strings in the blinds tend to break in all RV's.

Enjoy Life!!

Thank you for posting this. Our brand new 180 had the dinette blind broken when we got it home.
