Just replaced 5 of the 6 original factory accordion blinds in our 2307C - if anyone wants the ones I took out, they're yours for the cost of shipping.

All 5 are the original two-part blinds - translucent linen on the bottom, opaque opal on top with taupe rails. All 5 are 24" tall, 2 are 38" wide (front side windows), 1 is 50" wide (back / bathroom window), 2 are 62" wide (center / dinette & galley windows), all come with mounting clips, cords are in good condition on all.

The 38" and 50" wide units are in decent, usable shape as-is; the pleats in the fabric on the two 62" wide ones are breaking down - don't know if there's any way to correct for that.

Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos of the blinds before removing them - all five are collapsed and bundled with painter's tape and I don't want to open them back up......

I’m also in northern ca
My blinds in my trailer 2206 are in the same condition as your old ones
Wasn’t interested on your old ones
But interested in info on what you replaced them with company and model

The replacements came from J&R in Ohio - they have some original blinds in stock (new old stock, probably from when HiLo went under). They also apparently have a working relationship with the original vendor to HiLo and can get exact replacements in the original fabrics and colors through them.

Suspect that 4 of the 5 I ordered were NOS and one was a current replacement - 4 fit the original clips, but one long one had a top rail that was about 1/8 inch wider than the originals and needed new clips (which came with the blind).

Colors and fabric are exact duplicates to the originals.

Don't remember the exact cost (bought a bunch of small parts that were billed with the blinds), but think it was around $475-$500 for all five. Not cheap, but after 3 months of fruitless hunting for similar blinds that could be adapted, fit inside the original valances, and look right in the trailer, it was worth it.
