Do you not just tuck them behind the material guide rail?

Ahh, camplet curtains: The bane of my campleting life!

So far I have: sewn the outside edge of the curtain to the tape which goes across them , threaded some tape through the bottom hem of the curtains and used pegs, in various combinations.

None of them quite stop the curtains from falling vertically away from the windows nor from leaving a  small gap at the edge, and thus exposing me to the world at large. They are slight improvements upon the unadulterated versions, but still not to my satisfaction

I would make new  wider and longer curtains, except I don't think I am up to fixing the special curtain clips into the  curtain header

So I shall watch this with interest to see if anyone has come up with the perfect solution. If so I will be forever grateful

 wonder if its only the concorde model that has this problem because dont have this problem with our savanne,there are three togs (2 at the ends 1 in middle) by each of the windows part and they just fasten to the curtains so they are flush, mind you the curtains dont come of in our camplet you just roll them up fastened together with press studs

I tuck mine behind the veranda bar, or if I can be bothered, secure them with the toggles at the bottom (as it's a Savanne).

How about this question..

Do you leave your curtains up when you put your Camp-let away?

No, they are so simple to put away safely that I won't risk leaving them in the windows where they could get bent by accident.

I leave mine on, rolled up, but they are sewn in on the Savanne so I don't have any choice in the matter

We tuck the curtains behind the verhanda bars. The one by the door (the one left without  window bar) I have made a draw cord across the bottom and this keeps it tight to the window.

Yes we leave them on all the time.  If you keep them in the tie backs and make sure they are folded up well when you pack then no issues, certainly no creases.

As they were such a pain to put up on the first set up I am loathe to take them down again!
