RV driver and passenger drapes?

[johns4104s]

Looking at pricing at camping world, $350+ for passenger and driver front drapes. Does anyone know who has a better price?

Thanks

John

I bought thermal drapes with the liners at Goodwill for 10 bucks for a 4 piece set, all the pieces were 8ft wide by 54 inches long, I trimmed the windshield set to 36 inches and bought a track from a salvage yard, I used the other pieces in other ways, total cost was less than 15 dollars and I was able to find the ones that matched my interior.

John, you saw mine at TBR. 80% sun block. Got at box store. Mine are kinda rigged, but on "new" bus will have snaps to hold in place, and will look much better. Keeps the sun outside.

Hubby just picked some up at camping world a couple of days ago. They had them marked down. I think he pd 60.00 for them.

John, if you want a motorized set I have one white color with the cellular darkening shade mounts from the top with remote control.
Sonja said to tell you and Tammi to come here and her and Tammi could make a set I have the rails  



good luck

Box store is Home Depot. But They don't sell hammer handles, so I got mad and went to Lowe's. 4107 will not be ready. Blu has me slaving on finishing house, plus trip to california. I sure hope I can get to TBR.

John, it was the Knoxville, Tn. store. They had about 10 boxes of them. They are not the lined ones, just drapes. They are mostly beige, pleated, and 180inches to 230 inches and 36 inches long.

Clifford,

Tell Sonja thanks, but we have hit a snag and will only be there in June/July. Will you guys be there then??

This may not sound feasible, however my PO installed straight pleated shades two for the front windshield & two smaller shades for the drivers and door windows. They work very well and block the sun effectively. I do get spooked if they drop 1/4" when I am driving however. This has never been a problem.
I like them as I do not have to follow the track around with the drapes, and I would imagine they would be a much easier installation.

Good Luck to all,

Gary

We have the same as Gary does and they work reasonably well.  Marilyn built a set of vinyl covers with suction cups that we attach for extreme privacy or heat rejection but most of the time we use the pleated ones.  I drop the driver's side about 8 or 10 inches when we have made a routing error and are travelling into a setting sun.  The only issue that we have with them is that they hit the backup TV but that's not a huge problem.  And at our age if some pervert is peering in the window late at night its gonna be worse for him than it is for us - what he sees might cure him permanently.

Cripes Bob!! I have these insulated panels that the po had that basically you just shove into the openings of the front and side windows that work ok but I need to make some clips to hold them in place. They are handy as they roll up and I can just throw them under the couch/bed in the front. But they have a tendency to fall down as they basically are just shoved into place. I'm standing there with a cup of coffee  with the clothes I was born with and one of them fell down! Lucky for me she was from Canada and now thinks my name is Bob!
