Top Bunk Curtain

We are picking up our new 178bhsk on Tuesday and I noticed the ac points almost directly into the top bunk.



Just wanted some thoughts on adjustable curtain bar for the top bunk vs a peel and stick type solution. Cheers

You'll know soon enough if you need to rig a curtain or if you can louver or block the offending AC vent. Only seen the photos but it looks like an easy task for either. I'd think a curtain for some privacy for early or late sleepers would be welcome regardless of the AC draft.

There's an astounding aftermarket for parts so someone may already be selling a diverter or it can possibly be deflected at the unit right now. My Blast-From-the-Center(tm) AC in a former trailer has such a feature.

use sticky back velcro to the ceiling and curtain if the breeze is a problem... you could eventually peel off the tape using a hair dryer to loosen the sticky stuff.

If you end up mounting a curtain, use hollow wall anchors at the ends. In our old camper, Our sons loved to open and close theirs, and that was the only mounting solution that worked over time. We purchased the rv curtain bar with sliders for the curtain, and I sewed one to fit the space. Kids loved it!
