A friend of ours with a Trakmaster van, purchased some from Jayco, so they may be a Jayco accessory.

Allan and Karen,
We have done them, they are an accessory from "Aussie Traveller" the ones that do the Awnings, you might give them a call... 07 3868-3868....

Looked good, nice idea, only one minor concern as it seemed that they started flapping away and flogging themselves in about 10-15 knots of wind. You would have to put them up when you were going away on a day trip... Not sure I would have the extra bulk and width and weight on my own van...... Ranger.

Hi Allan & Karen,

My wife made up a set for our van out of shadecloth.

They have a pocket at the bottom that slips over the window by about 100mm.

At the top there is a curtain spring-wire that clips onto the frame of the window.

To make fitting easier, I filed a small groove in the edge or the window frame for the cup hooks to sit in.

We take them off when not needed & keek them in a bag under the bed.

They work extremely well & also give you that little bit of extra privacy in caravan parks
