    In most cases the curtains are there more for show than anything else. We just use the blinds as the curtains are more trouble than they are worth. Never used the curtains on the last two caravans but they did pop out of the Eldiss we had before that. Hate
    to say it but we just gave up on them.

    saying that you never use the curtains doesn't really answer the OP's question Innocent

    .. True but I think the answer is they are just for show.

    So you close your curtains. Not draw them.

    On one of the curtains a few of the fittings always pop out. It's not a big job to pop them back in but I can't figure out why it's always the same curtain. We only draw them when the van is in storage. On site we always use the blinds.
