I bought a curtain rail and made my own for less than half that price! Sorry! I can find the post on here if you want it or should I say I'll get my OH to find it! :wink:

Buy an extendable curtain rod for less than a tenner, it fits just over the trim near the roof behind the front seats, then buy or make curtains to fit.

Sorry thread we put up has been deleted - we found a really good curtain rail that clipped behind trim either side one screw in middle then I made a curtain. I can find brand out if you're interested. I also bought a cheap pair of 'blackout' curtains from dunelm & used one - I would say it all cost less that £20.

Hi
Natty idea, but I think I'd make it removeable, somehow!....It's not as neat as a proper campervan / caravan rail....I must look in the DIY shop next time we're in the city
Cheers
