anyone installed curtains in a camper shell?
I just got a camper shell and want to install sliding curtains on the side windows and possibly a drop-down curtain for the rear window. If anyone has done this before I'd appreciate any tips on materials and/or installation technique. I've got carpeted interior and I don't want to drill any holes thru the fiberglass. Thanks in advance!

Long ago on a small station wagon I used screen door springs as 'stretchy curtain rods' (2 per side - top and bottom) attached to the window frames with self-tapping screws. With double-hemmed curtains (top and bottom) it worked well.

The bolts along the window frame aren't long enough to attach anything to, but I may experiment with velcro...we'll see. If anyone else has other ideas I'm open to them. Until then, I guess I'll email Martha Stewart and see what ideas she has
thanks guys

use the high-strength, high-temperature velcro that you can get at HD or radioshack. its very strong...maybe too strong if you dont secure it to the fabric and sides well enough. i used it to anchor down my sub to my husky liner in the rear of my 4runner and instead of coming apart, it just pulled the strips up off the liner. kinda defeated the purpose.
