Hi, we have just bought a Sprite Continental 500 (1991. We haven't used it yet. We are completley new to caravanning., although we do have some experienced friends. We are looking forward to meeting new people and of staying in new places. I guess you might see us on the site seeking any advice that we might need, so please be patient with us. I am keen to replace the curtains in the van and when removing them I noticed that they are attached to curtain rail and have tape sewn onto the curtains which house small round plastic balls, these act as the curtain hooks and slip onto the rail. Can anybody assist me to locate where I can buy replacement tape with the hooks alreaady on it? I look forward to hearing from anybody who can help but I also just wanted to say a big hello, from Pat and Chris (Newbies)

Hi Patricia and welcome to the forum

I think that the tape that you are looking for is called 'popper tape'

Copy / paste the text below into your web browser and scroll down to the 'curtain tracks & fittings section

Good luck with the caravan - enjoy!

I would just like to thank Parksy for passing on a website address to me where I might purchase curtain track for my caravan.I contacted the retailer and recieved my goods within two days. Thanks again Parksy for the advice and the welcome!

I'm glad to have been able to help Patricia.

If we see a Sprite Continental with fabulous new curtains we'll know that it's you.

Have you made any plans to go away in the caravan yet?
