In an RV, every inch of space counts. Installing curtains can be a game-changer for privacy, insulation, and ambiance—but it also comes with challenges like curved walls, narrow windows, and limited mounting areas. If you’re trying to install curtains in your motorhome, campervan, or travel trailer, here are clever tricks to make it easier and more effective.

1. Velcro Strips: Minimalist and Mobile-Friendly​

If you’re hesitant to drill or are working with uneven surfaces, Velcro is your best friend. Use adhesive Velcro strips along the top edge of the window frame, and attach matching strips to the back of your curtain panel. This:

  • Prevents swinging while driving
  • Allows easy removal and washing
  • Works on uneven or curved surfaces
It’s also ideal for cab privacy panels or bathroom separators.

2. Ceiling-Mounted Curtain Tracks​

For tight wall spaces, use lightweight ceiling-mounted tracks. These work especially well above beds or dinette conversions. Look for:

  • Bendable plastic tracks (great for curved surfaces)
  • Lightweight aluminum rails
  • Gliders with snap-on hooks
These systems are more discreet than rods and better for tight spots like overhead bunk areas.

3. Tension Rods with Rubber Ends​

For windows between cabinets or narrow walls, use adjustable tension rods. These require no drilling and stay in place using pressure. They’re ideal for:

  • Kitchen and bathroom windows
  • Entryways or closet separators
  • Rear windows of campervans
Pro tip: Choose rods with rubber ends to avoid slipping on smooth RV surfaces.

4. Snap Fasteners or Grommet Hooks​

In curved walls or around cab areas, snap fasteners allow curtains to follow the shape of the surface. Sew snap buttons along your fabric’s edge, and mount the matching pieces to the wall using screws or adhesive.

Alternatively, grommet hooks offer a semi-permanent solution that’s easy to open and close.

5. Combine Function and Aesthetics​

Even in a small RV, your curtains should reflect your style. Choose from:

  • Earth tones for a cabin vibe
  • Patterns to add character
  • Blackout materials for temperature control
Mix aesthetics with practical features like thermal linings or washable fabrics. Browse our curated RV curtain picks for stylish and road-tested ideas.
