Window coverings & bedding options

[Seacoast1]

Trying to figure out how to hang window coverings. There are "knobs" above & below the windows but no one so far has been able to give me good information about how/what to hang to cover the windows. Open to suggestions...anyone care to share what they've done?

Also, curious about bedding choices. I never see any boats with the beds made. Again...open to suggestions.

Many thanks...

The original port coverings were from Ship-shades.

We use the WM sleeping bags in the vberth for several years. We are now using something called travel sack (or something similar)

That was RvSuperBag. I think they changed their name. They make a model for the vberth.

I've seen bungie cord used as curtain rods. Just make a loop in each end and slip them over the knobs. When you want to open the port just undo the bottom one and slip it over the top one.

That's a great idea! Thank you for responding...

My '84 H31 has the original window shades. There are small loops of elastic on top and bottom that hook over the buttons. There are longer loops on the window side. You roll up the curtain, then the longer loops hook on the upper buttons. There are dowels in the top and bottom hems for stiffness. My 29 year old elastic is pretty much stretched out, so we just wrap them around.

This is GREAT!!!! I'm so excited to discover what the original shades look like. Thank you, too, for the pictures. I'm very visual so this is a great help.
