19 SB model: I plan to add flat privacy curtain tracks (like hospital) to the ceiling of my Sportsman, both forward bed and rear dinette. What is the best way to secure/fasten tracks to the ceiling? Are there wood supports in the ceiling? Screw length? Molybolts? www.curtain-tracks.com/curtains/rv-curtains |

I purchased from Tracks.com: Recmar #32124 low profile aluminum tracks (1 - 8', 1 - 4'); 2 packs Recmar #7124 button carriers; 1 package #7127 end stop; and 30 - #7115 clips. I pre-drilled holes in the tracks. The front 4' section was trimmed & screwed directly in to the ceiling (short screws). The rear dinette section was mounted to the ceiling using my pre-drilled holes to mark the ceiling. I installed 1/8" Hollow Wall Anchors (from Lowes). I was then able to mount the rear track to the ceiling. I attached the "clips" to the buttons by hacksawing a notch in to the upper part of the plastic button. The clip slips right on. We chose clips since they are easy to install and will allow the curtain to pull off before possibly pulling the track loose. We found lightweight curtains at Walmart which were the right height. We needed 2 sets for both ends. |
