The drapes can be ordered by any Airstream Dealer.

There is also an aftermarket source here:

They will send you a packet with samples and a sheet for you to fill in so the drapes will fit your trailer exactly.

We took ours out of the trailer, and had a local seamstress duplicate them in a different fabric. I think it cost less than $200 to do the front of the coach. We did not do the drapes on the twin beds or rear window.

Greetings Pete!

I have had excellent results with drapes from Fowler Interiors in Symsonia, KY (Arlene and Henry Fowler). In fact, they have refurbished the interiors in both my Airstream and Argosy. They have an absolutely amazing selection of fabrics in a variety of price and quality levels. While they specialize in complete interior refurbishment, they have been known to handle just the draperies in a coach. They are regular advertisers in the Blue Beret. I am on the road, and don't have a copy of the Blue Beret handy or I would provide you with a more detailed contact information - - I know that it is possible to obtain their number from switchboard.com.

Good luck with your drapery project!

Pete:
We purchased new drapes from James Ambruso and love them!

They were a little pricey and we did have to wait several months to get them but it was well worth it. We went from the vintage 70's Avocado Green, dry rotted and faded curtains to a light beige color. It's unbelievable the difference it made in the looks of our interior.

Good luck in your search!

I have also purchased drapes from Ambrose. (1973 Overlander.)It was 3-4 month wait, pricey, but absolutely top quality. Communication was good. The drapes fit perfectly and quality suggests I wont be replacing them for at least 20 years.
