Just picked up our 2nd hand caravan which was sold with a brand new sterling awning that had been traded in with the van.

Didnt get it out of the storage bag (first mistake), when we got home after a 2 hour journey from the dealer we checked the awning and all okay apart from no curtains.  The awning has just one window for curtains as the other two on the sides are opaque.  I did ask at the dealer if it came with curtains and he said he thought so. 

As this is our first caravan I am new to types of curtains, however the curtain runner is plastic and there doesnt appear to be anywhere to hang curtains unless they have the same, I've looked on Towsure and I think the fitting is called Jay.  Our trailer tent curtains were on poles so this design is alien to me.  Any suggestions where I may get a pair of curtains from with the correct fitting?

You can get awning curtains from Towsure.  They come with the hooks to atach to  the rail.

Maybe you could buy the fitting strips and make your own curtains?

thanks for your replies, i've emailed NR awnings who supplied the original awning to see if they can provide any (obviously i will have to pay but worth a try), seen some in Towsure but as they were in a packet didnt know if they were the right kind.  As for making my own, I am not very handy so think I would prefer to buy them (even though I know they will be more expensive)
