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!
