Press-studs on A'van Curtain Retainers

Press-studs on A'van Curtain Retainers

A'van curtains, when drawn back, are retained in position with attractive "straps", usually in the same material as the seating upholstery. These straps use Velcro® tabs to hold them closed. In time, however, the tabs loose their effectiveness, and particularly when the A'van is closed up and travelling, the straps can "let go", and you are greeted with a tangle of curtains when opening up at journey's end.

Since replacing all the curtain Velcro® tabs in our A'van with press studs, as shown in the photographs, we have had no further problems with the curtains becoming undone whilst travelling. These studs can be purchased from haberdashery shops and from Bunnings.

Roof dome curtains drawn together. Note press studs to keep the two curtain halves together.
The clothes pegs we have been using for this over the last 9 years have been pensioned off!
