Bunk curtains

[kimrb266]

When we had our pup, we used the curtains to close off the bunk while the kids were sleeping.  This made it dark enough for them to dose off.  We also close them if it's a hot day, it seemed to keep some of the heat out of the middle of the trailer.

I use mine as many of the others do.  To close off one bunk when it is being used as storage, close off to keep the cooling/heating area smaller, and to block light coming into the bunkend.

Both my old starcrafts had the tracks for them, but the curtains, (what was left of them) were damaged.  On our old Starcraft, which was tiny, I replaced them on the bunkends with curtains made from sheets,  because we did NOT have a 'bathroom' or shower to change in.  

picture this -

you have all the flaps unzipped in your camper on the bed ends to catch the breezes, and you decided to go down to the beach to swim.  So you need to change into your suit - and in order to do so you have a choice -

gather your clothes, walk down to the campground restroom, change, and take your clothes back to the camper.

Crawl onto the bunks and zip up all the windows (getting all hot and sweaty), change into your suit, then unzip tham again to keep the camper from getting hot.

stand in the middle of the camper and pull the sheet/curtains across the bunkends and windows, change into your suit, and push the curtains back again.

They don't have to be heavy, but they do add quick privacy! and you can change standing up, with all your 'stuff' at hand.  Plus, if you ever do need them to block light, or hold heat/AC, they're good for that, too.

That's why one of my winter projects is to make curtains for the N2us STarcraft.  They're not a 'necessity' - but they are conveinient!

curtains are only used when the kids are changing clothes into swimsuits or close those curtains when using the porta potty.It sits on the floor by the front bunk...

Friends of mine have an old camper, they added curtains by putting a wooden rod and tabbed curtains for privacy...
