RV Window Treatments for Crisp Winters
The lake is freezing over, the wind is blowing fiercely, and the snow is falling in thick clusters that cover everything in seconds. If you want to keep your RV warm this winter, you need special RV window treatments that improve the limited insulation without detracting from the view. At Barrington Draperies & Shutters, we'll help you find RV window treatments that fit your small windows, providing warmth, comfort, and a touch of design. Explore our top recommendations.
What RVs Need in Winter Window Coverings
To make your RV enjoyable this winter, you need specific winter window coverings. Your RV needs insulation and energy efficiency to reduce heat loss and retain heat. You need light control to maximize natural light on short winter days and minimize glare on snowy mornings.
Since you're in an RV, you can't have heavy window treatments, like shutters; they need to be lightweight and compact. Since your RV moves, the window treatments need to be durable. They also need to be easy to clean and easy to operate in tight spaces.
You'll have personal requirements regarding style and color.

Duette® Cellular Shades
These are our top recommendations for RV winter window coverings. The crisp, clean lines fit modern RV design, and the cellular construction provides excellent insulation. The cells actively fill with hot air, trying to escape your RV, and press the shade against your RV window, creating an insulating layer. This prevents further heat loss through the window.
The Duette® is both lightweight and slender, but powerful, making it ideal for RVs. To make it even more functional, add a top-down/bottom-up feature for more flexible light control. That way, even with cozy room-darkening fabrics, you can benefit from both light and privacy.
Designer Roller Shades
While all roller shades offer the clean look compatible with modern RV design, we recommend Designer Roller Shades for their wide variety of colors, patterns, opacities, and materials. You can choose warmer fabrics that reduce heat gain and loss. Not only can these keep the warmth in, but they’re lightweight and narrow. These are a good option if your RV is already well-insulated.
Vignette® Roman Shades
The soft, folded fabric in Vignette® Roman Shades creates clean, straight lines that complement modern RV design while also adding insulation. The fabric-rich look adds coziness to winter interiors. Like roller shades, it's a good option if you want more personality that still fits a small space. Consider selecting lighter fabric colors to make the RV appear larger and more spacious, and to minimize bulk. You can choose a flat fold or a full fold, depending on your preferred look. You can also select semi-sheer, opaque, or room-darkening fabrics.
Improve Your RV Comfort
You can further enhance your RV's comfort by installing blackout linings, which improve light control, privacy, and insulation. These can be added to shades and integrated into the system you select.
