    New curtains
    « on: April 20, 2021, 08:18:31 pm »
    ]We bought a 2015 Rio. It is really lovely and love it.  Just wanted to put my own stamp on it so changed the curtains in the living room area.  I ended up buying some ready made curtains as I have only ever made  curtains with heading tape and you hook them onto tracks.  Anyway I bought some ready made one with the eyelets that slide onto the curtain poles.  I had to shorten them by 10 inches as the shortest ready mads are 54" long.  Managed to do this.  The task then was to try and put them up.  We discovered you need a very small alan key to undo the knob on the ends of the rails and also to undo the bracket that the pole slots into so you can lift the pole off and remove the old curtains and then put the new ones on the pole.  Also remembering to leave the end eyelet off til you had put the pole back as the last eyelet goes the other side of the bracket.
    The big window at the front of the van the pole is a very long pole and it is hinged at the inner ends.  When we first put it back we realised we had put the 2nd curtain on the left the wrong side of the bracket so we had to re do that.  But all good fun

    A good job well done...... Let’s hope you get to spend plenty of time at your ‘van ( with new curtains) this year.

    Looks fantastic. Really nice and summery. Makes you smile straight away.

    Love the matching pillow covers. Did you make those or did they come as part of the set?

    Nice one we did the same to our ABI last September just before lockdown., we also replaced our bedroom curtains and upholstered the head boards to match.
