Curtains or not?
The van pre refurb had curtain rails with some lovely yellow check curtains...

Whyever not? They sound delightful. Aesthetically pleasing or not I wouldn't be without curtains of some sort.
I happen to like yellow

Re: Curtains or not?
Curtains offer a secondary bit of privacy if also using thermal blinds, as I find the blinds curl up at the corners and edges, especially if stowed away for a long time.

Yes and I think they are available in two colours, I've got brown now but the previous bus had grey.

Don’t mind yellow... had a yellow bug, loved it.,
Rest of van interior is grey, so kinda looks out of place..
Those Baimex look pretty good..!

Thanks mate! Lots of options and they do a twin slider set
Re: Curtains or not?
Disco Dave gave me some of these for a T4. I was hoping to get them to fit my T3 but alas they couldn't be made to fit. I was hoping to find some for the van and now I have. Thanks for the link. I have emailed them to ask how much postage to the UK is.

Re: Curtains or not?
I did away with curtains twenty years ago , replaced with black out roller blinds , I can’t be doing with flappy curtains ... I do have a set that will go around the cab, but I don’t use them and I have full drop blackout behind the front seats ...
