In that case, you can just get some elastic rope and stretch it across the top and bottoms of the windows, and secure the ends with screws and washers. You could also use thin aluminum slats as curtain rods - that's what my camper has. I was appalled at how much material costs. I needed 10 yards (to make double-thickness curtains) to cover all of my windows. The nice material was all between $8 - $20 a yard. Forget that!!! You might have to look around a while unless you are willing to pay over $100 for curtain material. -David ============================================================================ David Schwarze '73 VW Safare Custom Camper (Da Boat) SAIC Comsystems, San Diego Calif.
