Privacy Curtain

[c21]

I just finished installing these custom privacy curtains. They mount on plastic curtain track which Is located so it doesn't reduce head room. The curtains attach to the sides of coach with velcro and have velcro closures. They can hang either behind the front seats or drape in front of the seat backs. About 5 seconds to deploy. I still carry the regular window curtains if I want to close up the cab area.

Very nice!

Great idea!
I often thought of something similar on my 40' MH, not for privacy but to make the dashboard air more efficient on hot days of driving.

Nice! I like the headroom you preserve with the plastic curtain track. Where did you find the track?

Very nice job. The newer Interstates make that kind of mod an easier deal because there is a drop-down in the header. The T1N series just has the curved cab liner, so there is no way to easily mount a track of any kind. I initially toyed with the idea of developing something, concluded it would be more trouble than it was worth, and dropped it. But then I noted James's and Stefany's observation that the right curtain helps tremendously with heating the Class B in very cold weather, because so much heat is lost through the cab. So I may go back and design something someday.

Found it on Amazon listed as follows. RV Designer A502 Wall Mount Glide Tape Kit. I also found the black out curtain material on Amazon listed as: Eroica Blackout Drapery Fabric Black. This came in 54" width and ordered two yards. I split it in half lengthwise and cut 4" off the bottoms to make the tie backs with stainless steel rings that I found on Ebay. Curtains wound up being 36 x 50 less the hems.

The glide tape sews onto the fabric. You will need sew on velcro for the fabric and sticky back for the plastic jambs on your rv.

Thankfully my wife is an excellent seamstress and did all the sewing for me.

You might consider a cable system such as:

Umbra Stream 108-Inch Cable Rod System or something similiar. These would fit to a curved surface.

Our 2013, bought used, did not come with the privacy curtains. Does anyone know a place to order these. I found some of the silver products used for protecting dashboards, and made for front, front sides, and sliding door windows that will do, but they are bulky. Have not been able to find a source for original type.

Try the mothership. My dealer was able to get replacement curtains made for my 2007 three years ago at Jackson Center. Worked out great.

Neat idea. I especially like the triple function - privacy, cab climate control while driving, coach climate control while parked. I envision the mini curtain hooks and track like used in the AI shower.
