Repair of damaged curtain holder
My brother in law ripped the strap that held back privacy curtain in my 94TK.  Looking to purchase a strap.  Something so small is really important

Hi Chris;  Those were sewn, constructed by a vendor long gone. Pictures would help. If it tore out at the base, just make it a bit shorter.  I've never heard of this happening.  I wouldn't let him back in the motorhome.  RonB

The strap I am talking about has two snap bottoms, plastic or vinyl is the material.
I can’t figure out how to post photos

Hi Chris;  I just have my photo on my desktop, to the side of the window containing my reply.  I drag it over to the grayed out area below the 'Post, Preview, Spell Check' area. Drop it, then wait a few seconds for it to copy to LDOF. A separate grayed out area appears with the name of the photo, it's format, it's size and a thumbnail.
  Then click on the 'Post'  as usual.    RonB

Below are pics of the strap on my 2019 TK.  Chris you could make your own strap utilizing a snap kit.  I tried this kit on my strap and found that the snap in the kit is too small.  In the kit the male side of the snap is threaded and so you could thread it into the side of the curtain abandoning the original male snap.  There are many snap kits on the market and you might even find one at a sewing supply store.

Hi Chris; If just the strap is damaged you could use a Velcro strap instead.  I don't have the 'accordian' folded door to close off the aisle to the back. My year T/K has the large mirrored door that closes off the bathroom or swings open and latches to close off the aisle. Also it works well to determine if the rig is level.
   I remember my friend's MB (2001) had a plastic bar on the moving edge and a snap connection attached to the wall, to keep the 'door' in place when opened.   You could also use a Velcro, (generically) now called Hook and Loop fastener to make a non-snap fastening holder band.  The snap sounds like a lot of work to use often. Double-Sided Hook and Loop Straps, Self-Gripping, 2 Inch Wide, Cut to...    This would be much like the curtain hold back straps for the windshield draw curtain, and privacy curtain on the cabover bed.    RonB
