Nope, I was thinking more along the lines of making them out of my old Star
Wars sheets.

This is sounding like a Martha Stewart show. I now expect Robb to have floral
prints installed by Fredricksburg.

Or you can do what we did and get an extra set of curtain rods and anchor the
bottom of the curtains like rv’s do so you don’t have all that flopping.
The
breeze thru the windows does help cool the bus on a roadtrip and if it’s a
cold
day you know real quick if you left a window open.

I drive on road trips all the time with mine open. Other than the curtain
problem Sammy mentioned, I've had no problems. Since you're not going correct,
I
would suggest making an easily removeable curtain rod so you can take them down
on road trips. That is, if you are going with curtains.

Thanks Sammie,
And as far as "correctness", this bus is about as far from correct as you can
get.
I am putting Jalousie windows in a 13 window deluxe! Blasphemy!
