silverdonna 1 Rivet Member 1967 24' Tradewind Sebastian , Florida Join Date: Dec 2009 Posts: 14	Drapery Springs Maybe I'm getting old, but I seem to remember that my father's 75 Excella had thin springs through the bottom of the curtains to help hold them against the curved sides. I have made new drapes for my 67 Tradewind and think I'd like them to be snug against the wall also. Any advice on whrere to find the springs (or if I'm way off base)? Thanx for the help

Curtain carriers for various vintage trailers can be purchased from several sources. A few in alphabetical order: eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices Inland RV Center - The Nations Leading Expert in Airstream Innovations Out-of-Doors Mart Vintage Trailer Supply - Vintage travel trailer parts and supplies!
