Thanks Kirah. I want to have mine go all the way to the floor all across as well. Probably will have a two panel split, but I prefer behind the seats for complete privacy. I have seen photos of curtains stored rolled up, but I prefer sliding them on a rod or something. I'll figure it out.

Someone - either here or maybe on a related Pinterest board? - posted a photo of how they installed a flexible curtain track along the lower front of the entertainment center/box/thing that mine snaps to. I thought that was pretty slick. The track conformed to the shape, so you get a decently tight fit, which is nice for heat retention, light reduction, and privacy.

For a while, I had strung a piece of cord between some wire hooks I wedged behind the wooden boxes over the windows, such that I had a tight fit, and used that as a curtain track with clip-style curtain rings. It worked reasonably well, and I could still get into the storage area over the cab while the curtain was closed.

Those are good reasons, Kirah. I may have to flip my curtains forward some time and try it.

I didn't mean that it's horrible to see the seats or anything. I just got used to not seeing the seatbacks in my campervan (because the seats both swiveled). I guess if I were making a new curtain now, I'd make it long enough to come to the floor behind the seats, knowing I could also flip it forward.

Don't look, Astro, but I actually don't have a passenger seat much of the time. When going solo I leave it in storage and instead have a tool box/map table that attaches where the seat does/did.
