I checked out Camping World and they did not have these doo-hickies.
These are those little metal brackets that are at each corner of bottom corner of your TT windows that hold your mini-blinds in place while traveling and don't slap around. They screw to the TT wall and have a have a little metal pin that springs or snaps into a little receiver hole on the bottom of your mini-blinds. Anyway your blinds don't flop/slap around during towing if you have the blinds down.
Anyone know where to find them on the web? I didn't check out H-Depot/Lowe's as I don't think they would carry them since they are for blinds that would need securing during towing times.

We had plastic retainers in our Alumascape. You can find plastic and metal versions in drapery/blinds stores. (they are available for home use--we also have them on the mini blinds on our front door at home)

Like Joe stated, you can find them in just about any drapery/ blinds department.

The instruction for our trailer says to retract the blinds when traveling. That way they are not swinging back and forth. It seems to work since the trailer is 18 years old and the blinds still work well.

I think this is what you mean, online here in C World's catalog. Other RV catalogs have them also.
P.S. - I could not locate metal ones. Maybe use the plastic ones, which might require new rail ends on your blinds?

HD/Lowe's should have these. They usually come with all blinds to hold down if used on a door. They usually have replacment packs for sale (did when I worked for Lowe's)

I have purchased these at CW. Maybe they just don't carry them on the Internet. They are usually on a small, spinning parts display or on the isle endcap. I've had a CW employee tell me they didn't have them, but I found them after not giving up.

I broke several plastic ones. Went to Home Depot, asked employee in Blind Department if they carried them. He opened a drawer and gave me several for free.
