Default Replacement T-guides for window curtains

Trailmanor no longer offers replacement strips of T-guides for window curtains; that supplier went out of business. Now, those of us wanting to replace curtains must buy curtains with a different style guide PLUS new tracks (over $600).

We are replacing the window curtains on our 2006 TM 2720SL. Looks like we will need to cut the strips of T-guides off our old curtains and recycle them. At least one of our old strips has a broken guide.

Do any of you have extra strips of T-guides we could buy from you?

My DW has used these (see attached picture) with great success to repair broken ones on our 2010 3326. They are generally available at many RV supply stores but we ordered ours from Custom RV in California. They are called "A111 Airstream RV Designer Carriers" and come in a package of 14 for about $7.00. I see them on Amazon.com also.

Hope this helps.

I did a quick search and couldn't find the tread but some on the board did a mod where they used curtain rods and a hook method to make set up easy after the TM is opened up. Maybe Bill will remember.

Wink Thanks

We appreciate all who suggested ways to replace our old curtains. We will probably use the idea posted at http://www.trailmanorowners.com/foru...ad.php?t=14060. This solution doesn't require t-strips, is easy to sew, and makes removing the curtains for storage quick and easy.

Mini blinds sure look nice, but are a little more to remove, setup and store.
