So far, we have taken the no drilling approach of using the JC Whitney curtains with suction cups. That gets old the first time they pop off when you're sitting on the porta potti. :-o

The curtains came with snaps that can be screwed in (in addition to the suction cups), so now I'm wondering exactly what's behind the head- and side-liner (is it structurally sound) and how long of a screw I can use. The ones that came with the curtains extend about 3/4".

Alternately, we're thinking of sewing loops to the curtains we have and using those black knobs wherever possible.

The other option, of course, is to find an interior with curtains and retrofit the tracks. I noticed the other stuff that Jim has, but are the tracks available and how hard are they to install?
