RV FEATURE
CURTAINS
Privacy in a caravan can be difficult, especially in a small family caravan. We wanted to separate the kids’ bunks area from the rest of the caravan. Luckily for us, the set-up of our caravan made this an easy DIY job, which we achieved by simply installing a fabric curtain.
I installed a curtain rod holder while my wife adjusted an off-theshelf curtain to suit the space. We can now put the kids to bed in one end, close the curtain and continue in the opposite end with less disturbance.
While at it, I removed the factoryfitted sliding door, which enclosed the toilet and shower area. I replaced this with another curtain on a curtain rod. The reasons for this was that we felt the original door was heavy and bulky. I also had doubts on how the sliding setup would fair on rough roads. A curtain here saved us a bit of weight and actually allowed for a bit more space in this tight area of the caravan.
