2009 R21EC Curtains

[SteveB]

Hello all,

Is it possible to special-order interior curtains (either from Ranger or some other supplier)? The reason I ask is that we're adding carpet to our R21 cabin and we're thinking about replacing the curtains with material that better matches our carpet choice.

Thanks,

-Steve

After doing a bit of research, I discovered that the unfamiliar-looking "sliding tab type" curtains are actually pretty standard on boats and RVs. Ah, the joys of a first-time boat owner. Everything looks weird at first.

Anyway, here's the first couple of sites that I located that sell the tabs and tab-tape so that you can make custom curtains out of whatever material you wish just by sewing on the plastic tabs:

Caveat: I haven't ordered anything from either of these companies, so I don't know yet if they offer tab-tails in the correct sizes for Ranger boats. Based on the underwhelming response to my original post, I'm guessing that curtains aren't such a hot topic :lol:

I immediately made new curtains for our R-25 to match her name, Starry Night. The plastic tabs purchased from SailRite are inexpensive, easy to sew through with a standard home sewing machine, and easy to insert into the track, either by snapping them in sideways or removing the stopper at the end of the track. SailRite is fast and reasonably priced.
If I could figure out how I would attach pictures.
