Hi Michael.

If you're not in the mood to make something, try this.

I replaced the DS white hook (I was on the road at the time) with an electrical harness strap. The DS white hook broke because I walked into the small rope I was using to hold my curtain up. I put a strap in because.......

I upgraded to a long bungee for curtain "rod".

One end of a bungee hooks intp new strap, the other loops once (completely) around white hook on PS then routes down to tether below. Seems to hold, though one could replace both hooks with something more appropriate.

I hang a light blanket there to help my lame-A## 12V heater working more efficiently.

Turns out my "road fix" works well in that the curtain hangs just low enough to see out rear mirror while driving (if I sit up) or I can pull down the curtain with RH to see out back easier. Obviously it doesn't meet the ceiling, but if you're looking for privacy, it may suffice.

Cheers,

Neil.
