Show me your curtains in your vintage Airstream

[Paddledipper]

We installed aluminum blinds from Budget Blinds on all our windows in our 1977 Overlander. I then took every old hunter green curtain down removed the pleats and cleaned them very well. I cut my new fabric slightly larger than the old curtain and pinned it on top of the existing curtains with a tucked in hem along edges. I ironed the new fabric to the existing curtains using a fuseable material. The same was done to apply the orange and white trim along the bottom and top edges. I then machine stitched around all the edges to ensure it was securely held in place. We chose not to pleat the curtains again as we were looking for a smoother look. We ended up with triple layers of fabric blocking the light and heat and have loved them ever since.

Wow, you would never know those green drapes are under your new ones!

We actually routinely look out the back windows along with our mirrors. In vintage trailers it's easy to see thru.

We have a vintage trailer but it’s (a) wearing sunglasses and (2) a 27-footer, so what you propose would not work for us, even if it didn’t have a rock guard on the front. I guess you have a short trailer? I do have trouble imagining how you would see anything useful through those little windows, with the additional length of your TV, but I’ll take your word for it!
