caravan curtains

A

Aberdarian

Can anyone suggest or point me in the right direction to acquire new caravan curtains.Our current ones are fading and wearing and the poppers are brittle.I live in S.Wales any help would be appreciated.
 
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.
 
hi taffy

its just a suggestion if the curtains are in good nick a friend of mine bought dye and dyed his curtains they came up like new changed the look of the van completly
 
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

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

Hi Taffy - I believe that the moderator does not allow personal data to be published so perhaps the moderator would be good enough, as a result of this email, send you my address and/or mobile number which is in my profile - John
