6mm Awning Cord Rail (1 Viewer)

[DDJC]

Morning, has anyone ever come across this or similar, in white UPVC, or similar plastic type material? They all seem to be in aluminium, and I need a tad more flexibility. I am only looking to fit strips onto the hab side lower panels to hang a draught skirt, so it doesn't need to be heavy duty. Need about 11 ½' or 3.5m

Thanks much.

They are called Keder Rails. This Company claims to have them in aluminium and PVC here for example ...

Hope that helps you to to find them! Took me some time to remember the name, must be old age ....

Cheers

Got 5 metres of C shape white PVC rail !

Now my next daft question is what is the best way to secure it to the sides of the motorhome? Mine has a white grp skirt like most, but unhelpfully it is moulded into a shape and not smooth.

Screws? Bolts? Glue? Leave it to the workshop? Which would be people's advice

I used sika 292 but my rail was flat to the side of the motorhome

But glue is the way forward over drilling and screws? This is for a draught skirt so there is not much weight pulling on it.

It was for me, you might get away with it being the lower skirt BUT wait till more experienced people have given you their thoughts, I’m a relative newbie

Use 3M ds tape as used for attaching trim to car bodywork. It does no harm and does not fall off.
