Custom made Airstream Curtains

[Frank's Trailer Works]

I will make it tomorrow. It should fit 58- 63.... Look for it to come in the mail next week along with the tabs needed for my track. Think about what material can be used. I do not believe you can sow vinyl.

[Silver Threads]

Nylon is probably best for repelling water. Also saw where 100% polyester is used for shower curtains.

A good friend of mine made a liner out of the vinyl that household shower curtains are made from. Then, she hand stitched the velcro to the vinyl, put matching velcro on the decorative fabric curtain, and sewed the tabs that fit the particular AS track onto the fabric curtain as well. The finished product looked great. JAD (Just an Idea)

My little trailer has a little shower curtain that has large snaps on the side wall and curtain and that fits it tight to the wall while in use. It has a little 3" fabric hold back tab that snaps it up close to that straight wall while traveling down the road...after it is dry of course.

Thanks for the info. I was looking at a website today at oilcloth. It says it is waterproof. It comes in a lot of different colors and designs. I think Im going to make mine out it and see how it works. If it does, I may add shower curtains to my list of things to make! Well, if they are fairly easy to make that is.
Lou, mine has snaps on the wall also. Havent gotten to try it out yet, does it keep the water in?

[loudruff]

LOL! Keeping the water in that teenie weenie shower is impossible!!! It is sooo small that you can hardly wiggle.The bottom edge seems to be the problem area for keeping the water in though. We don't use the shower because it is just too small. Military showers are just not enjoyable. So we usually find campgrounds that have a showerhouse and save the mess! Ours has become a good storage area. Good luck with your project!!

[Silver Threads]

Thanks Lou. Ours may very well end up being storage also. IMHO, these showers were not designed very well. They are right in a curve and if you are taller than 5', which most people are, it makes it very difficult. I have found it to be easier to sit in the tub and use the wand to wash my hair, and shower.
I am like you, I would rather find a campground with showers I can stand in and not have to turn the water off and on so it doesnt get cold!

[loudruff]

It makes a great storage space for the "stuff" we take to the shower! I store flip flops, towels, beachbag w/soaps etc. in there. Plus a 5 gal. bucket with a seat type lid. The bucket becomes a "shower seat" if you have to use the little space. I am getting too old to sit in the shower and then try to get up again! I store bleach and things that are toxic inside the 5 gal. bucket. It has come in handy for lots of stuff.

When I did my extreme bathroom make over, I moved the diverter to the wardrobe wall and moved the head higher up on the wall. I am not tall 5' 8" but can stand under it and shower no problem.

I have not done it yet due to no curtain, but I do not see any issues with using it. I of course would use the facilities if they are present, but like the idea of having the ability. My wife and both of our daughters have used the bathtub. My wife says it is not her claw foot, but a huge luxury over the bathhouse shower. My oldest daughter loves it and thinks it is very cool to be able to take a bubble bath while camping.
I still need to make that template Tammy, It will come soon.

Wow! A bathtub under the shower would be a good idea! Unfortunately, our litle Minuet has a tray that is only about 3 in. deep. No bubblebaths for us! LOL

And that is one of a thousand reasons why we own a legacy trailer.... none of the thousand have anything to do with thursday oddly enough.

Hmmm, this appears to be one of the photos of the metal-clad bath that I asked to see long ago, either on the thread here in the Forums, or on the Blog. Sadly, those pictures have not been forthcoming...

hey Marcus, get off my back and check out my blog.

Tammy, sorry for the highjacking here.

Here is our tub... I have the shower curtain rod for the clips to go on, but sadly no shower curtain either, yet! We have a shower curtain that buttons in place for our Caravel... but it's old and tattered and in need of replacement as well. See a need, fill a need! We love the tub with three little boys.

[Silver Threads]

Can you get a pattern off it rob? If i can get some patterns for different models, I can make some up.

[Silver Threads]

I have made a new website that actually shows up when you google rv curtains, how cool! Please check it out!

Hi Silver Threads, just sent you a note about getting a gaucho cover.

Happy New Year!

[wheel interested]

Checked out your new website Tammy. Love the music!!

[Silver Threads]

Well, we had stopped taking orders for several months because of our fulltime occupations. We are now able to take a few orders at a time on a first come fisrt serve basis.

Some of you know that we had sold our 66 tradewind and bought a motorhome. The motorhome was ok but it just wasn't an Airstream! We sold it and finally found another Airstream and all is well again! We just got back from a 13 day vacation at the beach/mountains and all went well!

Our website is up and running again, if anyone is looking for curtains just let us know!

[Robinsonps]

Am near you I think.
We are looking for information on how install curtains in our 1969 trade-wind
