Topic: Installing privacy curtain for rp 178 Posted: 25 Feb 2023 at 10:59am |
hey guys, I am looking to install privacy curtain for my rp178, to get ready for my first trip hopefully soon.
I've seen ppl using the flex curtain track available on amazon. I've never installed anything yet onto the ceiling or wall, so just want to be extra careful here. What's the best way to attach the track securely to the ceiling without causing damage? Thanks. |

If you want it to stay there, adhesives are not a good option. Screws (anchors better) are better. however, if you can find a spring tension shower rod, consider that instead. Look at my mods. Go wall to wall with a small bracket to make sure it stays there. You will be happier with that, I think. Look at my mods to see what I did. I don't remember which post, but it is in there somewhere.

Thanks for the reply, Steve.
Tension shower rod sounds like a neat idea, (I have a Moen one in my guest bathroom and really like it). My concern is with Rpod's build quality in mind, should I be worried about that too much tension causing damage to the side walls, like pushing them open slowly? Thanks again.

We added a tension rod in the bathroom in a 177 nine years ago to give extra space for drying wet towels and additional room for drying wet clothes. No damage or wall 'separation' after 9 years; you should be good with the tension rod(s) for your application.
