RV Camper cabin obscurer

My objective was to build something quick to install/remove, quick to use and without the requirement to punch holes in my RV.

An interesting solution was to emulate an existing solution available on the market with a pleated curtain. The "commercial" solutions are too expensive. This one will cost less than 10 Euro :-)

I bought from IKEA, 4 very chip pleated curtains named Schotis (2.90 EUR each), two 1m*8mm alluminium pipes (Leroy Merlin) and draw some objects compatible with the Fiat Ducato cabin (mine is X230 2014 but I am sure that it fits well in many models).

In order to Connect the printed objects with the pipes, I used two 6MM screws.

You must be very carefully when drilling the curtain. It is made of rigid paper so it is very hard to drill quickly and each element must be drilled separatelly..

In the current version the bottom part is simply lean against the dashboard. Probably in the future I will modify it to use additional two pipes for the bottom as well. And probably I will also change the curtain model

However, for sure a picture is better than one thousand words.

Laterals are simply cutted following the window once opened. The glued border is connected under the lateral seal. I draw also two clips to sustain the curtain when opened.

Please consider that this is a work in progress. As I do not like the two pipes visible at the top of my cabin, I will draw some cover in order to give a better look to the RV cabin.

There are two version of the curtain lock. The first one can be used for the curtain in the front window and at the bottom. The second one can be entered into the upper side of the Door to lock the curtain when opened
