Yup, I like the idea of a curtain rod and two easy to open or close curtains there. No muss, no fuss, no unpacking curtains, no reason not to close the curtains if Mrs Squirrel is feeling too visible. Right now I resist pulling out the front window wraparound, and would even if it only needed to be snapped up behind the front seats. On account of tiredness or sloth, pretty much. -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Utility Trailer.
