Has anyone replaced a bedroom privacy curtain?

We have a 2014 Arctic Fox 1150. It seems that Northwood must have started using a larger mattress because the curtain doesn't really fit past the end of the mattress. We have been thinking about replacing it with a regular curtain which would be easier to push out of the way when making the bed. I would like to use the existing track but am not sure where to get hardware that would fit the track and bet attached to a fabric curtain. Any guidance or suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Doesn't answer the OPs question but I always thought they were worthless with just the two of us and removed it in our previous camper. Discovered two uses now. With two of us in the overhead we found that closed it retained a little more heat up there without needing the furnace, one didn't work when I was camping by myself. Other thing I noticed was all our electronics and such it is never dark in the camper and the curtain helps.

    I have the same problem with my 2014 Arctic Fox 811. I looked at it and thought it was strange considering how well everything else is made. How did they overlook this? My thoughts are to remove the curtain entirely, or find a way to trim the bottom of it to rest on top of the mattress so it would still be usable.

    I did -- used the shower curtain track as mentioned above and made my own curtains.

    being a 2014 wonder if AF could supply?


    Our current curtain is an accordion pleated style so I don't think I could use the existing hardware. Checking with AF is a good idea. Thanks much for the links.

    We never used the privacy curtain... the airconditioned air couldn't cool us, heated air won'r circulate... it's a pain to open to go to the toilet at night,.. I recently removed it all together... stop by, I'll give it to you.

    I'm not sure about that curtain track, but you can buy shower curtain track at places like Camping World.
