Just came back and read the posts after mine and the second link (rversonline) that John has provided above is the exact "how-to" in a nutshell!

Most common failure is "frayed cords" and that is usually caused by tension being set way too tight. The ideal setting is just enough tension to hold the blinds up when sitting stationary. While travelling the blinds are normally closed (dropped) anyway. Too much tension results in the cords fraying where they make the transition through the separator bar in the middle or the small metal eyelets in the bottom edge of the metal top/middle/bottom bars.
