Title: Looking for Curtains
Post by: SOXFAN on Mar 06, 2007, 06:06 PM
I am looking to replace damaged curtains in my 95' Coleman Avalon. Does anyone have suggestions of where I may be able to purchase some? Only 2 are damaged and I was hoping to find something similair to the remaining ones.

I had that problem and went to my dealer with the damaged curtain.   They had boxes and boxes of extra curtains.  It just took a little while to find the right color and size.  I don't remember the price, but I do remember I was shocked at how little they cost.

If you'd like, you can get material and make your own to change the look and sew on Buttons that fit into the slots that they hang from....Custom Curtains :-()

Welcome to PUT.  A Fleetwood folding camper dealer might be able to find the right curtains for you, but most dealers I have been to, don't keep a lot of curtains on stock and old colors are often not available.  Making your own replacements may be the best alternative.  Good luck.:)

Thanks for the info. I'm going to try the local dealer first. They take a lot of older units in for trade. If that doesn't work it looks like I'll have a sewing project to add to my to-do list.
Thanks

I made my own after getting nearly a $300 estimate for all the curtains from my dealer.  I used the existing sliding clips where I could, but where I couldn't I bought new ones from Camping world.  It was a sliding clip that attaches by a snap, which was on a clear vinyl tape.  I just sewed the vinyl tape to the of the curtain.  I was able to customize my colors (hated the cotton rust color, put in heavy brown cuorduroy with black-out lining).  For the netting at the top of the bunk curtains, I cut the fabric off where it started and sewed new fabric right over it.  They came out great and were worth the time and effort.
