Thor ACE 30.1 curtain disintegration/likely other models too

[k6ncx]

We recently traveled to Oregon (for the eclipse, hooray!) and had occasion for the first time in several months to actually look at the curtain that closes off the windshield and cab windows. The backing (white, facing out) is in shreds. It falls apart at a touch. Apparently the material has been broken down by sun exposure. At home the coach is parked facing roughly south.

Coach is a 2016 ACE 30.1 which purchased new less than a year ago. I'm sure the curtains are the same on other ACE models, and I would be surprised if the same curtains aren't used in at least some other lines. Anybody else run into this?

We are taking it to the dealer for replacement - but of course we have no expectation that the replacement curtains will hold up any better.

k6ncx, I certainly wouldn't replace it with the same stuff.

Probably for a little more money than what you are going to spend you could buy a much better material and a have a drapery person use your exiting curtains as a pattern. It would last many, many more years which would actually save you money.

Good luck,
