I have recently worked on my curtains. I have a 2007 3124 ks. The curtain glide tape on mine in no longer being produced. I have googled to the end of the earth and what I found was nada. There is a curtain glide tape made for the new style curtain tracks. The glide goes over and around the the track where before it went in the middle of the track.
I have found that two option that will work. The first and my favorite is a glide/carrier with elastic that runs through one side of it...I like this one best because you just stitch down the elastic in the area you want the glide to be located. This is actually made and used for Air Stream Campers. (La te da!)
Finding the correct spot on the elastic to stitch them down was a little challenging but if your off a smidge they stretch so no bigee. Here is a link so you can see them...many rv dealers sell them some do put them on sale and there are 14 in a package:

Another carrier runs about the same price and you would hand sew these on...but you do get 50 in a package. I have a package of them...and almost used them but they are bigger/clunkier and need to test one to see if they would need to be a problem. I have not done this testing and won't until another one on the original tape breaks. Look at the 3050 curtain slide at this link:
http://www.recmar.com/products_accessories.html The slide is the correct size the plastic circle you stitch to the fabric seemed too large.
FTIW...you can also by and install slide/glides in the form of snaps. You you would need to install one side of the snap to the fabric and then slide the other side into the track and snap the two together. (I would remove the old plastic tape first)
I have also tried taking off the curtain glide tape and reusing it. It is hard to sew on my machine. The problem is not the thickness, my machine handles that. The problem sewing down the length of the tape past the glide piece. I have tried a zipper foot as well as no foot (won't try no foot again!) and I could not sew in a straight line...and I was sewing just inside the edge of the plastic tape.
I recently dyed my curtains...and it came our pretty good. I have tan curtains and I used Rit tan dye with hot water and immediately rehung them to dry with NO problems or shrinkage. Dye in small batches...do not over crowd the washer. I forgot to dye the bathroom curtain and had run out of dye and I used Rit Cocoa dye. The bathroom curtain is now my favorite curtain and I wish I had dyed them all with the Cocoa dye.
After my curtains were completely dry I ironed them and lined them using blackout fabric in the bed windows.

I cannot find the diaper cover material on line at Hobby Lobby. Sorry...it is a lined knit maybe polyester.
I used a different fabric for the rest of the curtains. I will have to find the name it was about twice the price of the blackout fabric...but I used a 40 % off coupon. This fabric is similar to blackout but it is stretchy with good stretch. We have two large windows on either side of the camper and one in on the wall behind a deep cabinet so I wanted it to have more give since it gets tugged on more then the others. This fabric is something they said is fairly new is is meant to be used for decorative diaper covers and is water resistant but not water proof. I will try to get the links for these items and come back and post them.
To attach the lining material I ironed it on with a medium heat iron using
http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=...358559&first=0 I bought all of this at Hobby Lobby but I can't find the Ultra heat n bond at their site. It was about 3.40 per package and I used two packages and about 18 inches of the third package.
I now like my TM curtains. I also took off those tie backs...we never used them and they were always in the way.
I can not take credit for this idea...a sweet gal named Karen on this site emailed me and we discussed our options and costs. She used fabric from an old mill now out of business and said it is similar to a very good quality sheet. So a new white sheet or the color of your choice should also work and may cost less.
