Now I don’t want this thread to degenerate in to a tassels & half drawn across drivers window or no tassels & not half drawn across drivers window debate but can anyone point me in the right direction to buy just 2 simple, decent quality, no tassels, black, black out curtains for a Renault premium tractor unit.
All the ones I can see on EBay aren’t my cup of tea.
I’m not sure, but do I think Renault Magnums are the only truck on the road which have blinds fitted rather than curtains, I do know that they are 100% light-resistant.
As has been said before by others, a Renault Magnum is a Volvo Globetrotter, only with a better cab.
Can remember my first night out across the seats(with the aid of a bit of foam) in a day cab 1617.
The curtains were a couple of blankets tucked into the side windows and pegged to the sun visors.
Happy days/nights.

That looks like a proper Base H. Don’t even talk to me about the curtain track falling out every time you want to open or close the curtains on the prem either!!!

Iveco also use blinds on the Stralis however if they didn’t fit them there wouldn’t be a great deal of difference
I think a lot of companies are trying to save money on material judging by the gaps in the curtains when closed, a decent curtain rail wouldnt go amiss either, and the magnum has a great idea with blinds. Another idea is to go to a curtain shop who will cut them to size and fit the curtain hooks, but it obviously depends on the rail being used, where theres a will, theres a way.
Im not the only one who has issues with the curtain rails in a Premium then ! Bloody things keep falling down or get caught on the sun visors, what was the matter with a metal curtain rail
On the subject of cab curtains,why did the early sleepers only have a divide curtain between the bunk and the seats and not full blown around the side windows and windscreen?

Arr who thought a rubber rail in to feeble clips every 6 inches was a good idea with truckers hands mauling them every night & morning wants the French p45.
