removal of curtains November 16, 2013, 04:42:29 pm Yahoo Message Number: 143645Weekend 1 of Lazy ownership: taking out the curtains for cleaning. We want to take the curtains to the cleaners. We got the bunk curtains down. There are plastic (screw covers?) holding the wall side of the cab curtains in place. Will these pop off with a flat screw driver, or will they crack? Are they needed, and if so, are they a standard purchase somewhere? Thanks for your advice Wendy

I have a 1985 with curtains that have blackout backing, I don"t think these kind are dry cleanable. I tossed mine in the dryer on air and they came out remarkably well.Carol

They're not likely to crack, but if that should happen, you can order replacements online or from Lazy Daze. They're not strictly necessary; they just look nicer than exposed screw heads.Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels
Re: removal of curtains Reply #3 – November 17, 2013, 08:55:08 am Yahoo Message Number: 143658The curtains seem to be 'normal' double fabric curtains, without a special backing. The liner does seem a bit heavy, so I think it will keep out a lot of light. These are the original on the 2002 rig. The manual suggests dry cleaning, so the next question is if the cleaner is concerned about the plastic glides that are held by grommet that are on the bunk curtains. These need more than a run thru the dryer- but I will try that approach next time.center
