Insulation curtain between cab and hab (1 Viewer)

[MitchandJenny]

Looking for the above to fit our Tracker
2 berth with over-cab storage, so that we can shut the cold cab off from the habitation part.
Anyone done this or found one on-line ?
Or must we make one our selves ?
Thanks in anticipation.

We have one built in on our van ,it makes a big difference. On a previous van we used the old fashioned curtain wire,plastic coated ones, and put on some home made curtains, it made a big difference to temps and was a bit more. " homely" .

We had a second hand silver screen , bit of cut and velcro bloody beautiful for a quick overnight without putting on external screens.

I understand that you can buy cab curtains specifically for the base vehicle e.g. Boxer.

I had the same issue in that I felt that the Accordo cab was quite gloomy (and cold) of a winters night. My solution was to buy an expanding curtain rail (or you could buy a fixed length curtain rail and cut it to size) and a pair of thermal curtain liners (only needed one and got it cut to to size). I fixed the curtain rail using double sided tape at intervals along the length and screws at the end plates. I opted for the thermal liner as I didn't want to put too much weight on the rail. The idea works a treat and keeps the warmth in the Hab area.

The Accordo came with thermal cab blinds, which I still use. I've also bought a set of silver screens to help with the heat loss and made a few "Silver Screen" type roof window heat reflectors.

Best wishes, Dram

Done it on several vans in the past.
Length of curtain wire from Wilko or eBay. Just use up any old curtains or a sheet. Even a thin material makes a big difference.

I bought the rail and blackout curtains for my MH from Dunelm Mills. They made a big difference to the hab side.

Expanding tensioned shower rail with thermal curtains - once cut to length don't need stitching - the pole just jams between side walls and can be removed if need be. I've used the same thing in the past for a curtain across the hab door.

Same here homespun 40mm timber rail sits in cups, so removable in seconds. Insulated 2 piece curtains, with popper studs in the middle. Really handy for a quick pull in to get 40 winks , also blots out sound as well.

Used an old quilted duvet, put poppers along the side of the front drop down bed, we use for both heat retaining in winter and as Gus said also keeps the cold air at the front in summer, Duvet cost a fiver from the charity shop and poppers from eBay,

Dunelm thermal curtains make a big difference

Thank all.
Dunelm looks the biz, loop topped 66“ X 90“ thermal curtains we have the expanding pole already.
