What a great idea, have some of these poppers at home. Why did I not think of using them? Tried to use magnets hot glued then superglued, worked really well until both melted off in Spain 😂
Haha. Nice effort anyway mate. Thanks for sharing. Yeah - sounds like you need a better solution. These studs are great in my book. As long as you take your time to place them just right, so both parts meet up perfectly. That way, they just fall into place nicely. Thanks for watching and commenting.... Jon.
Hi Jon, really cracking way of doing the curtains really like how you done them with the poppers, personally i like the DIY way over the traditional way with the tracks and the major expense.... job job buddy.
Another great vid mate, I like how you explain how you do things and show each step. Your conversion looks like it's been done by a professional, thanks chief 😎😎
@@TwoDogsplusMe always an option mate yes. They would be more bulky and awkward to roll up though. But as I always say... Its Pros and Cons in this van game. Cheers
Nice job! Question: how stealth are they from the outside? Do they fully block all light from the inside of the van? This is always something a stealth camper needs to ensure if they're parking and don't want to be detected as living/sleeping in their van.
Hi. If you stand outside looking at the back doors, you will not see light. Looking at either of the side windows, you will not see light. The only bit i would say that does let light through is the big cab curtain - The curtain material itself is blackout so 99% of it is fine - its the very top line where it is popped into the ceiling - its like a 1mm gap between curtain and white ceiling board so if i had lights on inside then someone could i suppose see little lines of light from outside yes. However. I'm sure that this could be improved on if that is really important to you (like an extra flap of material along the top or something.) Cheers for your comment. Thanks for watching Jon.
@@TheJDWay I found a sewing machine in a charity shop been making my curtains all week for my vw trident she's in this week to have all sills weldered and when she's back I'm stripping the panels off in side and putting new carpet on them ..then curtains will go up after ....only had my doris 5 weeks and loving the journey
Great video mate ..... you could instead of tying them up put a popper on the tie up ..
Cheers. Yes there's definitely some alternatives in the tie up method for sure.
Thanks for your comment.
Jon...

See you down the road...

I was looking for curtains for my Vellfire, £250 not fitted! Think I'll be doing this, thank you for making the video!
Hi there. Yeah £250 does sting a bit. Good luck with it. Take your time lining them up nice and tight.
Thanks for sharing.
JD...
Brilliant only extra i thing I would have done is insulate them so they thermal too
