Yes, you read that right. I was looking at how some folks have attached wood guides to the sides of their windows to keep miniblinds in place. I was looking for a way to do the same thing and happened to notice an Ikea futon frame we didn't use anymore. The supports are bent birch plywood slats, really nice looking wood. And they are the exact same arch as the sides of the coach, and the correct length! There are 13 slats, more than enough to do all the side windows.

We got the frame for free years ago, and I had no qualms about breaking it apart for the wood. I just checked and it sells for $269 new, which is a bit much to spend just for the plywood. But it really is amazing how nicely it fills the bill!
