Exterior New door at Last

[Seanm5253]

Hi Everyone
After a 5 week wait for the door to be made i finally have a door on the van!
Thankfully i measured correctly and was installed in a couple of hours, now I'm after some advice on what everyone does for privacy as we had a Jayco factory door before that had half a curtain but this being a premium camec door I cant see a way of installing a curtain / blind.
Any photos or ideas anyone????

Looks like a good job @Seanm5253
Can't help with the curtain/blind but have you asked Camec if they have anything?

G'day @Seanm5253, on both my old Expanda and current Journey, the curtain is mounted on the inside of the wire door. I can't get to the van tonight to see how it is mounted but simple small nut and bolt through the frame of the wire door holding the stretch wire at the top and bottom threaded through a curtain is all that's required.
A bit harder to see in the second pic but it shows it inside.

Hi Chatrock
Thats exactly what our old door had, couldn't remember how it was fixed though
I was hoping not having to drill through the new door but might be the only way me thinks!

I'l see if I can get a couple of close up pics in the morning and post them up.

OOPs... I was under the impression that you wanted to fit it to the main/solid door. Ours is fitted the same as @chartrock and is held on with curtain wire. small hooks and self tapping screws.

Pictures are worth more than words

Do the screws just poke through on the other side?

 

[dagree]

No.... The frame is about 10-12mm so guessing screws would be no more than 9mm long.

That makes sense, that was my concern
Now I have a plan of attack
Cheers for the help
