Have you tried contacting the RV manufacturer? Many times the window covering manufacturer has a label on the blind itself. Also, try http://www.fixmyblinds.com/

If you are unable to replace the blinds, you might consider removing them altogether and replacing them with a drape or curtain.
I hated the mini-blinds in our previous 5er. Hard to keep clean and very cold. I removed the mini blind in our bedroom as the window was at the head of our bed and I bought a long tension rod at Bed Bath & Beyond and hung it inside the window valance and hung a drape with curtain rings on the tension rod. It was easy to put up and take down and wash when necessary. And it wasn't as cold as the mini blinds.
I made my own drape, it was two simple rectangle pieces of heavy material that I lined with some matching flannel. If you don't sew or have anyone who could sew some for you, you could always buy some.
I believe that CampingWorld does sell replacement RV mini blinds.

Home Depot or Lowes... they're standard blinds. You can have the salespeople cut them to the exact length.

do you mean width ?
I've seen the width cut to fit almost any window
I have never seen the length/height of any blind cut, because it would need re-stringing
Options, always have options, and the journey goes much smoother

I cut the length of the new blinds I installed in our Coachmen to fit the windows. No restringing was needed since the cords attached at the bottom bar, and only needed to be retied and trimmed after removing the excess slats. It was really pretty easy, and the blinds came with full instructions from Lowe's.
