Custom curtains

Postby Wadey » Wed Apr 26, 2017 9:42 pm

Can anyone recommend curtains for my custom iv brought one of these for the windscreen
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172416385741
And I can genially say I'm impressed it seems to fit really well and blocks the light out as we will hane our 1 yr old sleeping in the front so something to go between the cab and the Back would be good but at the moment I'm after something for the side windows anyone recommend something ? Preferably a black out type thingy as the little one wakes up with the light and that will be the crack of dawn ! Not what I want when I'm hung over
just follow the onscreen instructions and it's fairly idiot proof...trouble is, we keep producing better idiots

We have gone for a different method. Instead of curtains, the wife is making some black out mats from left over insulation material with old fashioned waterproof wax tablecloth material stuck to it.

Super cheap and super easy - you just need to cut a cardboard template to just fit in the window bead. Then use the self adhesive on the Thermoliner to stick on the fabric. Mark round the template and cut to size.

100% blackout and will reflect the sun back out on a hot day. They weigh next to nothing and are easy to put in aand take out. Easy to store too.
