My wife made up a brilliant set of curtains for our van in green and white vertical stripes with a white blackout backing to it, looks amazing and has already had two orders in from the guy who made our interior. She is on maternity leave and looking for something to do in the evening to bring some money in, let me know what you are planning and how much your budget is, email is mark.sleep@hotmail.co.uk

The same standard professionaly goes from £200 for a set to £120 on ebay. Obviously it depends on the type of fabric used and also if you want it lined.

Looking to make about £50 profit on each set as they will take around ten hours to make.

Just bought a set from ebay. They fit and are well made. I do need to mod them to be safe around the cooker area as they are a standard length and could be shorter.

S.Brown Textiles of Burscough, Lancashire regularly advertise on the bay of fleas. Their curtains are good value & are well made. Also, they are sprayed with a fire retardent as all camper curtains should be!

Hi, I make domestic curtains. I have just changed the ones in our T25. and I am trying to source the tracks and magnets to be able to supply camper curtains. We live in Rochdale. If want a picture of ours or a price just let me know :-)
