We will figure something out, and post the results.
If you want fabric, go to a material store like JoAnn Fabrics. You want a drapery material with "Thermalsuede" insulative backing. You will have to measure all the windows you want done, and get someone to cut and sew the material. I'd use Velcro to stick it to the window frame. Best to use Velcro brand, industrial strength, because that will handle the temperature range of the motorhome better than other types of Velcro.
You could a also measure all the windows, and take the measurements to a seamstress and have them make up the draperies for you. Have them sew on the Velcro.
