I don't know about off-the-shelf systems - but given the immense work you've already done on your project, knocking-up your own motorized curtains (drapes) should be no problem at all. I have collected parts for my own motorized curtains as follows:

Side windows - standard roller blind modified to be driven by 12v motor / gearbox units (actually Lexus headlight adjustment motors)
Large front curtains (curve round whole front of bus to cover all front windows) - Rather neat 'twin groove' extruded aluminium curtain tracks from Ikea, with the curtain sliders in one groove and a polypropylene cord running in the other track, pulled backwards and forwards by other 12v motors taken from a car (I forget where these ones came from now)

Also - not really curtains, but I've also built some electric sunblinds for the windscreen (for use whilst driving) from two Range Rover electric window mechanisms.

Just my idiosyncratic way

John, the ones I have are made by Hunter-Douglas so about any place that sells the brand can order them for you and they are 110 v.The day/nite are vertical and the windshield shades are horizontal if I decide not to use them I'll let you know 


good luck
