Front windshield pull curtains are getting tired and sad looking. Need replacements. Currently in Seattle area but will be back in AZ this winter. Any suggestions on where to avoid the ridiculous price Winnebago wants. Any help is appreciated!!

If you are handy with a sewing machine, you may be able to make your own. You could also go to an upholsterer and have some custom made. That way you pick out the weight and color you want.

find a work room in your local area. Take your old drapes in and they can replicate. You can chose how thick you want the pleats. I did a set on my old rig and it was less than $150 including the blackout fire retardant liner. I got a neutral fabric the fabricator had remnants of.

Last year I went to frabic store bought the metrial including what they call bladk out made drapes for front and all though the MH and the valance through out the MH, it just takes time. Measure twice and cut once, my wife dose not sew, it was left up to me and I was not going to pay all those $$$$$$ to have them made. Hope this helps

We decided we wanted lined curtains for the front as we were going to be using the MH in the winter. Went to Walmart and got 2 drape panels and cut them in half, sewed the side by side pieces together and used upholstry hooks into the rollers that were there. Cost... $25. And they work great....keep the cold out!

I agree with other posters...either make them yourself out of the fabric of your choice, buy some ready made and hem shorter, or have them custom made.
I have washed our many times and they did shrink but were actually a wee bit shorter than I wanted before so I made an additional bottom for them out of washable acrylic lining material.
If you use ready made ones or make them yourself be sure the fabric is washable and wash them before you hem them to be sure they will not shrink.

I replaced ours with a beige blackout drape from JC Penny I just cut and sewed to make the same dimentions as the old ones. I carefully removed the old track strip and sewed it to the top of the new ones. All this was easy and they are so much better then the original ones because of the fabric weight and ease in washing.
