That’s £50 per window including rail, seems pretty reasonable to me

I suppose it is really, materials and manufacturing costs and then there needs to be a profit.

I was looking at just curtains at £250-300 a set which would be plus rails etc, then van x and they sort of look better for keeping our light and tidier looking

Ive thought about making up a system using rollers similar to the LT. Even thought about fitting a sun visor spoiler dodad and build in a roller to it for a thermo screen that could just be rolled down as and when it was needed.

Another fitting issue with the van x curtains! Will they fit on the westy opening kitchen window. The lifting struts fittings will make it difficult I think.
