Posting on behalf of my parents who have just purchased a 2002 Lunar van. The curtains are very very stiff to close, any ideas on making them slide with ease. Is there anything they can buy/use to make it easier? I know with their old van a while ago when the awning was stiff to go around the van they were advised to use a little furniture polish which worked a treat.
I wouldnt use WD40 on anything plastic, it makes them brittle, the curtain rail stuff is basically a silicon lubricant, any silicone lube will do, or a touch of fabsil whan you do your awning (which is silicon based)
In our M/home at the end of the season I take down the curtains and rails,then wash the runners and rails in soapy water as we do at home once a year.
------------- Think this year is to follow old meet friends for 2014.
If you cant do someone a good turn,don`t do them a bad one,its nice to be nice you know,and little things mean much more later in life.

i put new curtains up in our van on the weekend and they are really thick cotton and they were sticking on the bottom runner thingy...so i mr sheened it and its great now :)
so another vote for furniture polish
------------- The futures bright the futures podding!!!!
Furniture polish - & if worried about spraying it everywhere other than where you want it, have a look at the spray outlet & try & fit a drinking straw over it to make it more directional
