I have a 2007 Fleetwood Tioga SL . The cab privacy curtain is attached at the top with a velcro strip attached to the roof cutout of the cab and a velcro strip attached to the top edge of the curtain. Problem: The temperatures in Arizona get so hot that the velcro that is attached to the cab roof cutout separates from the cab roof cutout because the adhesive melts. I am looking for a simple esthetic solution to the problem. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Our velcro let go as well. We now use those little metal clips for holding down your picnic table cloth. The privacy curtain is draped over the edge of the overhead bunk when it is extended then we can clamp them over the top edge of the bunk allowing the curtain to hang down and block off the driver area.

An electric staple gun solved the problem for me.


Retired and visiting as much of this beautiful country as I can.

We gave up on the velcro and went to the vinyl cover for the outside windshield. Prevents heat build up through the windshield, and ours has the drop downs so you can see out in the day time. It also allows you more use of the cab area when parked. DW likes that at night it completely blocks view in through the windows.

If you can put in some snaps. Way better than Velcro and unaffected by heat. Been there done that.
