I've finished replacing the Day/Night shades in the main slide large windows. Sooo much nicer to operate and they function a heck of a lot better. Wife is pleased.
To install, I reused the top valances and some of the fabric/backing of the side valance. Had to extend them out about another 1 1/4" to allow the blinds to swing. Also had to cut the "molding" that separates the end cabinets from the rest on both of them, as well as move the two reading lamps out a bit.
The sofa had to come away from the wall a little and the table is not screwed down, so it was simple to move it an inch or so. While I was fooling with the sofa, I removed the air mattress. We haven't used it since 2009 and it just adds weight. It might get used as a guest bed at the house, if needed. After the first time we had someone sleeping on the sofa in the rig, we decided never again.
The two smaller windows and the ones in the hall will get new blinds at a later date. No more mods on tap for this summer, time for serious beer drinking.
