Need to install curtains in a 1995 TLC

[gregmacd]

I'm looking for the best way to install curtains in a 1995 TLC. I'd like to be able to remove most of the curtains and curtain rods for everyday use. While camping, I'd like to be able to quickly install and remove curtains each day.

I tried velcro, but it did not stick to the felt headliner. I'm considering a wire curtain rod cable from Ikea, but I'm a little hesitant about drilling into the interior of the vehicle or taking the time to remove the headliner.

Any suggestions?

1/4" bungee cord from grab bar to grab bar? In the back, you could terminate it at the upper seatbelt mount, and the front at the dirver's hand hold.

Thanks! I'll give the bungee cord a try. Where can I get 1/4 inch bungee cord?

The Troopie camper I rented had these low-profile tracks mounted above all the windows in a continuous loop. The curtains were tied back at the B/C/D pillars. It worked very well. My only complaint was some added noise with the glides within the track when going over bumps. This is the way I would do it.

How about using snap fasteners?

You can find these almost anywhere.

I assume you are you doing this for privacy while sleeping or away from the rig?

Could you make some cardboard cutouts? Spray paint them black and they'd fit the rear side glass and upper tail gate like a glove. Easily stowed and they'd press in around the widow trim to stay in place. Crazy?

'Traditional' curtains seem like a lot of extra effort to make work.

^^^ This,or, I have always done the ultra super extra dark limo tint. You CAN see through it if you come right up and do the "hand cup and squint" technique, but then you would see the large dog about to eat you if you broke in...

I am going the bungee route but am holding out on finding a nice flower patterned or superhero sheet at the goodwill to turn into curtains...
Will post pics when the search is complete...
