Vintage RV: Oasis Travel Trailers “Clean, Cute and Cozy”

Oasis trailers were known for producing interiors that were very stylish with room for two adults and perhaps two children..

Have you ever been to Bellflower, California? No, me either but one has to wonder if there are any remnants of the Oasis Travel Trailers manufacturing plant still evident in the city today? Here's another vintage trailer I found at a little used trailer outlet in the Village of Canal Flats recently.

Bellflower is a city in Los Angeles County, California, in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. It was established in 1906 and incorporated on September 3, 1957. As of the 2010 census, the city had a total population of 76,616, up from 72,878 at the 2000 census.

Bellflower was also home to the manufacturing facilities for the Oasis Travel Trailer company back in the late 1950s and 1960s—the golden era of classic and stylish camping trailers.

In 1957, Oasis Sales Inc. or Donhal began producing these attractive little vacation trailers. Their plant expanded in 1958. The company was headed up by President Donald Herfter and Vice President Dwight Avery.

Oasis Trailers were known for producing interiors that were very stylish with room for two adults and perhaps two children. The floor plan layout was well planned out and the little trailer was easy to pull and very comfortable to camp in. There was a large front window in the front that made it very enjoyable to sit and savour a good meal while looking at the beautiful view. (depending on where you decided to camp for the night)

One of the unique features of the Oasis was its beautiful ash wood interior. Each corner of the wood panel was rounded to give it a nice designer look.

As mentioned, one of the largest front windows found on any travel trailer from this era came standard on the Oasis. Its exterior proved distinctive with its trademark “flame” two-tone paint job with polished aluminum accents.

As one vintage site observed, “The Oasis sported a rounded silhouette as typical for this vintage of trailer, but distinguished by the “ogee” profile of the front section below the dinette window. Later models (from about 1962 on) added a spoiler-esque feature to the rear profile, picking up on the curves seen in the paint job and front profile.”

Typical pricing in 1958 of an Oasis model was as follows: 8' wide, 15' 1 bdrm., $1,129; 17.5' 1 bdrm., $1,995; 21' twin beds $2,720; 25' 1 bdrm., $3,325; 27' 1 bdrm., $3,525.

Allyson Gross, an Oasis Trailer enthusiast calls her 1964 Oasis trailer—“camping-ready, clean, cute and cozy!”

So if you ever get to Bellflower, California, keep an eye for the roots of the Oasis Travel Trailer company.

See Inside This Restored 1959 Oasis Travel Trailer

Published on November 7th, 2018 by Nikki Cleveland

They don’t make travel trailers like how they used to, so we love seeing classic campers like this 1959 Oasis restored with old-school style.

The trailer is a 1959 Oasis “Seventeen Six” model and weighs about 2,900 lbs.

According to the original listing, the vintage trailer was structurally sound and ready for camping. The owner posted:

“Of the dozen or so trailers my wife and I have done over the past 10 years or more, this was by far the most extensive and time-consuming. If I can’t refinish, restore or rebuild the original, we search for and try to find the best period correct replacement pieces and hardware.” DON’T MISS OUT ON DO IT YOURSELF UPDATES Sign up for the newsletter today!

The almost 60-year-old travel trailer was lovingly refurbished inside and out.  The aluminum was cleaned and polished and the exterior got some fresh new paint and a clear coat.

They installed gorgeous wood laminate flooring and refinished & rebuilt the cabinets. The kitchen still has its original and fully functional refrigerator, as well as a stove and a sink.

The dining area is just as comfortable as it was back in ’59. The dinette seats and table are all still original.

The windows were furnished with new handmade privacy curtains. They give the interior space a nice homey touch!

The old dull ceiling also got a fresh new makeover. Several portions were repaneled and brightened up with new white paint.

The propane wall heater was rebuilt and updated as well. This will be much needed for the cold months ahead !

The new custom fit mattress measures about 44″ x 75″. It sits beside a small nightstand and only steps from the renovated bathroom.

They refinished the bathroom walls and rebuilt the wooden doors. It was also updated with a new modern RV toilet.

The all-aluminum shower is still completely original. The trailer was upgraded with a 110-volt electric hot water tank as well as a new 12-volt water pump.

The exterior also got some new seam sealant, window butyl, caulking, and an undercoat.

They added new tires, new wheel trim, and hubcaps, as well as electric brakes.

The refurbished trailer was up for sale on Craigslist in Bellingham, Washington. It has since been sold for about $15,000.

Shasta Travel Trailer

The Shasta Trailer Company started out in 1941 by building mobile home trailers for the US Armed Forces in a Los Angeles, California plant. After WWII, they sold mobile homes under the Cozy Cruiser brand. 1952 was the first year for the Shasta brand to roll off the assembly line in Van Nuys. Models from 14′ to 35′ were offered. The boom in mobile homes and travel trailers was in full swing and the public couldn’t get enough of the Shasta brand. In April of 1958, Shasta opened the Goshen, Indiana plant to keep up with demand.

The distinctive wings were added to the Shasta line in the late 50’s and continued on the trailers and even some motorhomes until the early 80’s. During this time, the Shasta brand was the best selling trailer brand in the US. That is why, after all this time, “Vintage” Shastas are still so popular and available everywhere.

By early 1963, Shasta had added another production plant in Leola, Pennsylvania and was up to 5 different models of trailer. Later in that same year, the all-new model 1500 was offered to 5-star reviews. Again proving to the public, that the value that was built into the Shasta brand was well worth the low price!

In 1964 came the first of the “square-ish” Shastas with the introduction of the redesigned Compat model. It’s leaner, cleaner lines were a sign of things to come and was very well received by the general public. By late 1966, all of the Shasta trailers would be designed with the more modern look. Production plants were also added in Grapevine, Texas and Battle Ground, Washington.

During 1969, the brand new Loflyte was being offered and was a big hit with the RVing public. A sixth plant was added in Columbia, South Carolina as the Shastas were in great demand. And by 1973 there were nearly 500 Shasta dealers throughout the U.S. offering all new models with stylish interiors and all-new exterior styling with bold striping along the sides. The wings were smaller than before, but they were still there!

At some point in time, Shasta trailers were produced by Shasta Industries, a division of the W.R. Grace Company (this information obtained from a 1975 model year owners manual).

Coachman Industries bought the Shasta brand in 1976. They continued making Shasta trailers and motorhomes until as recently as 2004. At one time during the early 1980’s, the Shasta name was on nearly every conceivable type of RV…Motorhomes, 5th-wheels, travel trailers, and even some pop-up campers.

The Shasta brand seems to have disappeared with no goodbye and no fanfare. Not really a fitting end to such an amazing part of American history. Until it’s disappearance, Shasta had been the longest continuous producer of trailers in the United States.

In the summer of 2000, Shasta cut their model lines down significantly. When I asked why, the staff at the plant in Middlebury, IN said Coachman was looking to reduce the number of models/lines offered. Coachman was bought out by River Forest. In 2009 Forest River made the Shasta Airflyte 12′ with a great retro look for one year but discontnued it because it would compete with their small lightweight trailer called the R Pod.

As of late 2010, Shasta is once again producing Travel Trailers and Fifth wheels.The company is a stand alone division of Forest River, and offer Oasis, Revere and Flyte travel trailers and Phoenix fifth wheelsfor the 2013/2014 model years.

We are restoring a 1955 Shasta trailer but I cant’find any that look like ours. It is all alumimum with only one window on the sides that open top & bottom. It has a full stove with 4 burners,ice box on the door side of the trailer. The Shasta also has a heater in it between the stove & sink area. Our trailer has a full bed in back with a hamik on the top a kitchen table in front that folds down to a bed.

If you know anyone that has a 55 Shasta like ours would you send them our e-mail address [email protected]. Thanks you

Shasta travel trailers  were recreational vehicles originally built between 1941 and 2004. Founded by industry pioneer Robert Gray, the firm was originally situated in a small factory in  Los Angeles, California  to provide housing for members of the US Armed Forces. With the growth in sales over the following 30 years, the “home” factory in L.A. moved to three steadily larger facilities in Southern California, in addition to six other factories established across the country to better serve the regional markets. At the time of its purchase by the W.R. Grace Company in 1972, Shasta was the largest seller of recreational vehicles in the United States (also including motorhomes in its inventory).  Coachmen Industries, Inc.  bought the firm from Grace in 1976.

The high quality and low price of Shastas made them a favorite with campers all over the United States.

The “wings” on the rear sides were a visible identifier in the 1960s and beyond. The name was sold to Coachmen Industries. Coachmen marketed Shasta branded travel trailers until 2004. Only vintage trailers were available until 2008 when the brand was reintroduced complete with its identifying wings. The new trailers have updated art deco interiors and are all electric. Their features include stainless steel microwaves, stainless steel sinks and mini blinds, hot plate cooktops, wet baths and entertainment features – including a 19″ LCD television.

In 2010, Shasta RV re-emerged as a division of Forest River Inc. In March 2012, Mark Lucas became the president and general manager of Shasta RV. The company has grown to include a sales office, multiple production facilities and a finished goods staging area.

In 2015, Lucas introduced the 1961 Airflyte re-issue with production limited to 1,941 units, honoring the company’s first year in business. Re-issues were available in 16-foot and 19-foot floorplans and in three two-tone colors: Matador Red, Seafoam Green and Butternut Yellow, all with Polo White. These models included the signature “Z” stripe and the iconic wings. However, Shasta ended up recalling 1,736 of the re-issued Trailers for window and tire issues. [1]   [2]

Shasta RV currently builds the Oasis, Revere and Flyte lines of travel trailers and the Phoenix line of fifth wheel travel trailers.

The VIN number printed on the title document may match just the digits on the welded-on plate, or it may match the longer number stamped into the curb-side of the frame. Regardless of which way the trailer was originally titled, make sure the VIN number printed on the title matches one of the numbers on the trailer’s tongue frame.

Here is a partial list of the the “Shasta Plant” letter codes you may find included in the string of characters stamped into the frame: ‘C’ –   Built at Shasta’s Van Nuys, California plant ‘CA’ – Built at Shasta’s Van Nuys, California plant ‘DS’ – Built at Shasta’s Northridge, California plant ‘ES’ – Built at Shasta’s Northridge, California plant ‘FS’ – Built at Shasta’s Northridge, California plant ‘GS’ – Built at Shasta’s Northridge, California plant ‘HS’ – Built at Shasta’s Northridge, California plant ‘P’ –    Built at Shasta’s Leola, Pennsylvania plant ‘S’ –    Built at Shasta’s Columbia, South Carolina plant ‘T’ –    Built at Shasta’s Grapevine, Texas plant ‘V’ –    Built at Shasta’s Goshen, Indiana plant

registration paperwork for “that old trailer sitting behind the barn”. You would think that with the large number of trailers produced by Shasta and still in existence today, that tracking down your vintage Shasta trailer’s birth date would be a fairly simple task. Unfortunately, it’s usually not.

So to make your quest a little easier, here’s a chronological list of Shasta trailer features and design changes over the years:

•  The Shasta company has been building trailers since 1942, producing their “Cozy Cruiser” trailer models through model year 1951. The company began building “Shasta” brand trailers in model year 1952.

•  For model year 1965, Shasta introduced big changes again. The rounded front and rear exterior profiles were flattened quite a bit for a more modern “squared-off” design. But even with this new design direction, the beloved “Shasta wings” remained, and still appeared on the sides of Shasta trailers into the mid 80’s.

Vintage Shasta Trailer Specifications, Weights and Dimensions

One of the most popular lines of trailers is the Shasta. Since the 1940’s, Shasta trailers have been very popular for their low cost, light weight and large amount of room compared to their compact size.  Easily recognized by its distinctive wings and “canned-ham” shape, the Shasta trailer was the best selling travel trailer brand from the 1950’s to the 1980’s. Shasta trailers quickly became a favorite of campers all over the United States due to their low price and high quality and old models are still very popular among vintage trailer restorers and collectors today.

Shasta trailers were manufactured from 1941 until 2004, then again since 2010.

Shasta’s many models offer a variety of interiors, exteriors, and degrees of self-containment which enables you to choose the model which best meets your tastes and needs.  With the table below, compare each vintage Shasta trailer model to help find the right one for you.

Early 60s models:

1966 Shasta model 1500  – This is a very typical mid-60’s style of Shasta. Beginning in the mid-60’s the older rounded style of the 50’s was replaced with the more angular style as shown here. This unit had a grooved wood paneling, which replaced the birch ply interiors of the earlier years.

Annie Croissant, Oregon. 1964 Shasta Continental. In most internet sites it states that the Continental model was made in 1965 but my title states the year as 1964.

Connie, Imperial Beach, CA Year:1969 Model:1400. Don’t know what number owner I am but it’s in pretty good condition. I’m sure it can use some restoration instead of just decoration, but since nothing major is visible, I’m playing first!

Kevin Davis, NC 1974 Compact 13′ 1966 17′ SC

Donna Friar, Newaygo, Michigan 1963 Shasta 12′. My husband surprised me with this on Christmas morning several years ago. [email protected]

Scott & Lauren Frymoyer 1969 Shasta Astroflyte. I haven’t been able to find any information about this model in 1969, any help would be appreciated. It’s in pretty good shape and we’re using it as we try to fix and maintain her. [email protected]. With new information I now think it’s actually either a 66 or 67. It makes more sense as the general shape of the trailer fits those years.

Dan Hellier Raleigh NC. 16SC and 1400 , unsure exactly what years. Please check out NC RV Soutions at ncrvsolutions.com There is a picture link at the bottom of the web page.

Dave and Debby Looney, Springtown,TX 1971 Shasta Stratoflite We were lucky enough to get the title with the camper. We are doing a complete rebuild. We hope to go back with the walls tomorrow 10-21-07

Gary,Honesdale,PA 1959 AERFLYTE purchased new in 59 by my moms brother James Bryant and was kept in mint condition.I have had it two years and have towed it cross country two times. Gets lots of attention every where we go.I also have a mint 1960 15 ft. Zollinger.

Sam and Michelle Ishihara, Apex, NC, purchased Dan Hellier’s fully restored, 1969 Shasta 1400, in the summer of 2007. We affectionately dubbed it “Once in a Blue Moon” and we are having a blast. With 3 college kids at home, we run away every chance we get. We can’t stop smiling….:) Dan did a fantastic restoration!

Dave & Pat from Little River, SC, a 1975 RL 1750 manufactured in Leola, PA.

Ryan & Linda frizzell,Toledo, oh., Purchased new 2009 12′ shasta airflight while on vacation this year. downsized from 25′ white box. We also restore vintage trailers, curent project is a 1967 aristocrat 10’Lil Loafer.

Brad & Tricia Kiekintveld Holland, MI USA, purchased 2001 Shasta Ultraflight new in August, 2000. One of 6 units made in June, 2000 at Middlebury, IN. The ultraflight series lasted only one year, the 2001 model year our trailer was made is not documented. We were told the other 5 trailers went out west to a trailer show. We bought our trailer sight unseen, we were getting ready to order one, but the line was cancelled. To my knowledge, our model (2547 – front dinette, double bed bunks, both bunk beds are double beds) was the only 2001 Shasta trailers built in the Ultraflight series. The trailers had smooth sides, very light weight (3200lbs dry for my 25′ trailer) – Our trailer has the 60th anniversary package on it. To bad the production was stopped around 2004, up until then it was the longest manufacturered travel trailer in this country. I will look for the sales brochure and post it on this site.

Carole Rietman, West Olive, Mich [just a stone’s throw or so above Holland] bought a vintage in quite good shape – 1961 Shasta ?Aeroflyte from Jane in June of this year. It’s now in wonderful shape after a LOT of scrubbing, just needs a little TLC with some minor wood damage inside. Looking to replace the “wings” which did not come with it, unfortunately. FIRST time out camping in it today:-), July 19,2010. Has the registration paperwork and two full tanks of propane even.

Karen & Phil Henderson, South Carolina, 1971 Shasta Stratoflyte, 18′. It has a bathroom and a kitchen and even a closet! We have had to gut it though because a previous owner took the cover off of the vent over the propane refrigerator and it had severe water damage from sitting out in the weather for many years. She is in a covered garage now, so the renovations have begun. We have none of the original paperwork, but from the stickers on the side she was manufactured in Pennsylvania. The stove and oven work, but the refrigerator and water heater are dead. Going with an electric frig and a tankless water heater. Also looking into putting solar panels on her roof and a battery system just in case we decide to go off grid.

Bob and Phyllis in Irmo SC have a 1973 model 1400 and a 1956 model 1500. They can be seen at: http://thisoldcamper.com/

2015 Shasta Airflyte 16 Reissue Vintage Travel Trailer

A highly popular and sought-after Vintage travel trailer we are reposting for your perusal. Shasta’s Airflyte is still very popular in searches and (hopeful) purchases. Their reissue included lots of current updates that are, 3 years later, still very useful and current enough for most of our current technology as well. Enjoy the original overview and video walk-through at the end by Shasta’s owner.

MSRP: Starting at $15,000 USD (from 2015)

Length: 16’4″

For 2015, Shasta has created a nearly exact replica of it’s iconic 1961 Shasta Airflyte 16SC Travel Trailer complete with the legendary Shasta wings! Shasta started in 1941 and to commemorate their 75th anniversary they are producing a limited construction of 1,941 trailers and will be available in all three original colors; Matador Red, Seafoam Green, and Butternut Yellow.

Shasta has paid close attention to duplicate every small detail down to the original Shasta logo magazine rack. The new Shasta Airflytes will also feature an all-in-one bathroom with a toilet and shower in place of the closet to meet the desires of today’s campers.

The Airflyte “canned ham trailer” has a vintage interior that remains close to the original, but with all modern appliances and plumbing. Some tweaks have been made though: for example, instead of a twin-size bed, the reproduction accommodates more people by allowing for a full bed. A bunk bed option is also available. This will feature the same full bed/dinette and bunks.

It comes with a dog-bone pattern Formica on the counter tops, and birch cabinet doors, as well as LED lighting. Tuck-and-roll pleather matching the exterior color, that looks old, is on the bench seating in the dining area. The floor is also made of black-and-white vinyl.

This new travel trailer boasts tons of storage throughout with sleek finishes! The Shasta weights roughly 2,270 pounds, making it easily tow-able behind most SUVs, sedans, and mini vans. So, enjoy the finer things in life with this 2015 Shasta AirFlyte 16.

15 RV Curtain Ideas That Hit the Road in Style: Inspirational Designs

• X (Twitter)

Imagine your home on wheels, customized to reflect your unique personality while providing comfort and functionality. That’s the dream of every RV owner. One of the most significant aspects of creating a stylish and cozy mobile home is selecting the perfect window treatments. So how can you transform your RV windows to help create a personal sanctuary? Keep reading to discover some unique and beautiful RV curtain ideas.

Key Takeaways

• Customize RV curtains to reflect personal style and enhance the overall aesthetic.
• Choose fabrics based on design style, functionality, and desired look.
• Use DIY ideas for an affordable creative solution or hardware options for a polished cohesive look.

Customizing Your RV Curtains

Express your personal style and cultivate a cozy living space by customizing your RV curtains and RV window coverings. Whether you opt for a traditional look or something more contemporary, customizing your curtains allows you to design window coverings that suit your preferences and the overall aesthetic of your RV.

So, why not make your RV windows a reflection of your unique taste? We will unravel the world of fabric selection, patterns, colors, and DIY curtain ideas, transforming your RV into a home.

Fabric Selection

Selecting the appropriate fabric for your RV curtains is a key step, as it affects privacy, insulation, and light control. Some ideal fabrics for RV curtains include:

• Lightweight, durable, and easy-to-clean fabrics
• Textured solids
• Canvas painter’s drop cloths
• Burlap material
• Sheer floral curtains

You may also consider insulated curtains, also known as thermal curtains, for added insulation and temperature control during the cooler months.

When selecting fabric, consider your design style and the desired functionality of your curtains. For instance, if you want more light control, opt for blackout shades or blackout curtains. If privacy is a priority, consider sheer curtains that allow light to pass through while still providing some privacy. Aim to find curtains that align with your needs and preferences, while also enhancing your RV’s decor.

Patterns and colors.

Patterns and colors can instantly transform your RV’s interior, making it feel more spacious and inviting. Popular pattern choices for RV curtains include:

• Holiday Themes

When selecting patterned curtains, consider the current use of patterns in your RV decor and avoid grand-scaled patterns for short curtains. Opt for patterns with mild contrasts and desaturated colors to prevent an overly busy look.

As for colors, consider light neutral shades for a bright and airy atmosphere, or darker fabrics for optimal room darkening and insulation. Strive to find a fusion of patterns and colors that either blend with your current decor or establish a new color scheme echoing your personal style. By carefully selecting patterns and colors, you can make your RV windows a stunning focal point that enhances the overall aesthetic of your space.

DIY Curtain Ideas

DIY RV curtain ideas present an economical and innovative approach to add a personal touch to your RV windows. Not only can you save money, but you can also repurpose materials and create unique designs that truly reflect your personality. Some popular DIY curtain ideas include no-sew options, repurposing materials such as bed sheets or tablecloths, and using alternative hanging methods.

For example, you can create your own curtains from white sheets or tablecloths, which can be easily cut to fit your RV windows and hung with adhesive hooks or tension rods. Additionally, you can use pillowcases with drapery clips for a quick and simple window treatment solution. The possibilities are endless when it comes to DIY curtain ideas, so don’t be afraid to think outside the box and let your creativity shine.

RV Curtain Hardware Options

The right hardware for your RV curtains is fundamental for ensuring both practicality and visual appeal. From curtain rods and tracks to hooks and brackets, there are various hardware options available to support your curtains and enhance their appearance. When choosing hardware, it’s important to consider the type of curtains you’re using and the desired functionality, as well as the dimensions of your RV windows.

In this part, we will delve into the diverse types of RV curtain hardware options, including curtain rods and tracks, hooks and brackets, and curtain accessories. Having a grasp of the multiple hardware options and their advantages enables you to make a well-informed decision and pick the ideal hardware that complements your custom RV curtains.

Curtain Rods and Tracks

Curtain rods and tracks offer a supportive and flexible framework for your RV curtains, facilitating the creation of diverse looks and styles. Choosing the right type of rod or track depends on the type of curtains you’re using and the desired functionality. For instance, if you’re using rod pocket curtains or grommet-style curtains, you’ll need a curtain rod that can easily accommodate the curtain’s header style. On the other hand, if you’re using curtains with hooks or rings, a curtain track may be a more suitable option.

When selecting curtain rods or tracks, consider the dimensions of your RV windows and the weight of your curtains. For example, lightweight curtains can be hung using self-adhesive hooks, while heavier curtains may require more robust hardware, such as curtain brackets or wall-hugging hooks. By taking these factors into account, you can choose the perfect curtain rods or tracks for your RV window makeover.

Hooks and Brackets

Hooks and brackets provide a simple installation process and adaptability for suspending curtains in your RV. They can be used with various types of curtain rods and tracks, making them a popular choice for many RV owners. When selecting hooks and brackets, it’s important to consider the weight limits and compatibility with your chosen curtains. Some popular hook options for hanging RV curtains include adhesive hooks, such as Command brand hooks, that can be easily removed without damaging your RV’s walls.

Command Hooks

Alternative Curtain Hooks

Traditional Curtain Rod Hooks

When using hooks and brackets, ensure that they are securely affixed to your RV’s walls or ceiling to provide reliable support for your curtains. This may involve using screws, adhesive strips, or other appropriate mounting hardware. By selecting the right hooks and brackets for your RV curtains, you can create a secure and stylish window treatment solution that enhances your RV’s interior.

Curtain Accessories

Curtain embellishments like tiebacks and finials can contribute a decorative element to your RV curtains, while simultaneously adding extra functionality. Tiebacks, for example, can be used to hold your curtains open during the day, allowing natural light to enter your RV. Finials, on the other hand, add a decorative element to the ends of your curtain rods.

When selecting curtain accessories, consider the overall design of your RV curtains and choose accessories that complement their fabric, pattern, and color. By incorporating curtain accessories into your window treatments, you can create a polished and cohesive look that enhances the overall aesthetic of your RV.

Unique RV Curtain Ideas

At times, conventional curtains might not suffice. If you’re in search of a more unique touch, a plethora of distinctive RV window treatment ideas awaits your exploration. Some options to add personality and functionality to your RV windows include:

• Bamboo shades
• Frosted glass
• Reflective shades

This part will elaborate on creative window treatment ideas that can assist you in making a statement and personalizing your RV living space to the fullest.

Bamboo Shades and Macrame

Boho Window Treatment

Bamboo shades and macrame offer a boho-chic look while providing privacy and light control. These options can be combined with curtains for a layered effect, or used alone for a more minimalist approach. Bamboo shades, for example, add a natural and eco-friendly touch to your RV windows and can be found in various textures and colors to suit your decor. Macrame curtains, on the other hand, are handmade using knotting techniques and can be crafted to match your RV’s color scheme and design style.

When incorporating bamboo shades and macrame into your RV window treatments, consider the overall design of your space and choose options that complement your existing decor. By combining unique window treatment options with traditional curtains, you can create a visually stunning and functional living space that reflects your personal style.

Frosted Glass and Reflective Shades

Insulated Bubble Window Covering

Frosted glass and reflective shades provide privacy and insulation without blocking natural light. These options can be used alone for a sleek and modern look or combined with curtains for added style and functionality. Frosted glass, for example, can be applied to your RV windows using decorative window clings, which offer a budget-friendly solution for privacy and heat reduction on sunny days.

Reflective shades, such as Camco SunShield Reflective Door Window Covers, protect your RV’s interior from harmful UV rays while helping to regulate temperature inside the vehicle.

Whether you choose frosted glass, reflective shades, or a combination of both, these unique window treatment ideas can provide a stylish and functional solution for your RV windows. Consider your specific needs and preferences when selecting the perfect window treatments to enhance your RV living experience.

Alternative Curtain Materials

Looking for a unique and budget-friendly window treatment solution? Consider repurposing alternative materials to hang curtains, such as:

• Tablecloths: can be hung directly on a curtain rod
• Rugs: can be suspended on a tension rod or affixed to a wall
• Blankets: can be suspended on a tension rod or affixed to a wall

These unconventional materials can add a personal touch to your RV windows while providing privacy and light control.

When using alternative curtain materials, ensure that they are clean and in good condition. It may also be a good idea to use a liner to protect the material from fading or damage. By thinking outside the box and repurposing materials as curtains, you can create a truly unique window treatment solution for your RV.

Employing these techniques can help you forge a comfortable and practical living space that feels genuinely homely.

• Choose lightweight fabrics and colors that complement your decor.
• Measure your windows accurately to ensure the curtains will fit properly.
• Install the curtains correctly, making sure they hang straight and are securely fastened. By following these steps, you can achieve a seamless and visually pleasing result.

By incorporating ceiling-to-floor curtains in your RV, you can create a more spacious and inviting living area. This simple yet effective technique can have a significant impact on the overall feel of your space, making it an excellent option for those looking to maximize the visual appeal of their RV interior.

Room Dividers and Zone Separators

When selecting curtains for room dividers and zone separators, consider the overall design of your RV and choose materials that coordinate with your existing decor. Additionally, ensure that the curtains are securely hung and provide the desired level of privacy and light control.

Caring for Your RV Curtains

Maintaining your RV curtains entails consistent cleaning, upkeep, and correct storage. By keeping your curtains looking fresh and well-maintained, you can prolong their lifespan and maintain a comfortable living space.

This section will highlight the significance of maintaining your RV curtains and provide tips for cleaning, maintenance, and storage to ensure your curtains remain in optimal condition.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Consistent cleaning and upkeep of your RV curtains are vital for their sustained optimal condition and longevity. This includes removing dust and dirt buildup, inspecting for signs of wear and tear, and repairing or replacing curtains as needed. Depending on the type of fabric and curtain style, you may need to hand-wash, machine-wash, or dry-clean your curtains to keep them looking their best.

In addition to cleaning, it’s important to inspect your curtains for any signs of damage or wear. This includes checking for frayed edges, loose threads, and fading. If you notice any issues, address them promptly to prevent further deterioration and prolong the life of your curtains.

By regularly cleaning and maintaining your RV curtains, you can ensure they continue to provide privacy, insulation, and a comfortable living environment for years to come.

Storing Curtains

Appropriate storage of your RV curtains is vital for preserving their good condition and aesthetic appeal. When storing your curtains, fold them neatly and store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps prevent fading, discoloration, and damage due to moisture.

You can also use acid-free tissue paper between the folds of your curtains to further protect them from damage. By storing your RV curtains properly, you can ensure they continue to look great and function well throughout their lifespan.

In conclusion, customizing your RV curtains can be a fun and rewarding experience, allowing you to express your personal style and create a comfortable living space on the go. From fabric selection and DIY curtain ideas to unique window treatments and maximizing space, there are countless ways to make your RV windows truly your own. With regular care and maintenance, your RV curtains can provide privacy, insulation, and style for years to come.
