Why not pick a material you like and get a local dressmaker to make themm up for you. Or any business that does alterations wil be able to make copies from your originals.

referbed a old van and some one had put oranged curtains in so i dyed them a green to match the seats the came out verey good .
Hi taffy - I live in S Wales also and when I refurbed an old van I bought new material, new poppers and new track. We made up the cutains and stitched the new poppers with a domestic sewing machine. It worked out very well. The track and poppers took some finding but we eventually found them at a caravan dealers locally. - John
Thks for info John you wouldn't remember where you bought the poppers.The track is fine but as I remarked curtains fading and poppers brittle will source material that no prob.
Taffy, they sell thewm in highbridge caravans, and I think they would do mail order for you.

Hi Taffy - I think that we eventually got the poppers from The Caravan Hospital at Cowbridge 01446 774747. I still have about 6 yards if that is of any use - yours for a fiver! - John

I would suggest you buy new tract and glidders, I have a new 2009 Swift and have tried unsuccessfully to try and get some extra glidders to fit the existing system to no avail. Even Swift sent me on a wild goose trail. It seems the ones they fitted are out of stock already and the dealers aren't interested.
Re curtains, Wilkinsons have a good selection of 'made up ones', if you know your sizes, and can get some one to sew them, you could get what they have to offer, it might work out cheaper in the long run
