Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / February 2006New to camping
We are new to camping and just bought a 95 coleman chesapeak. My question is can we dye the curtains in it or will we have to replace them? Has anyone dyed curtains for a pop up before? Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreicaited. Spanky and Darla with 3 girls 2004 Chevy Malibu 1994 Coleman Chesapeak > We are new to camping and just bought a 95 coleman chesapeak.

They are, after all, 10-years old. Good luck!  Signature:) JR >> We are new to camping and just bought a 95 coleman chesapeak.

SignatureChris Cowles Gainesville, FL > Confirm availability of replacements before trying. This is a GREAT suggestion! :) After about 10 years, we washed the curtains in our popup (bought new) for the first time. They didn't fare too badly, but they WERE worse for wear. :( If the curtains aren't particularly filthy and they work properly, I suggest leaving them alone. Signature:) JR Thanks guys :) After reading the posts my hubby has decided to leave well enough alone. I personally like the color of the curtains but he doesn't so I WIN LOL.

We began when the middle girl wasn't quite potty trained. We tent camped with high chairs, a porta crib and potty, among other things. Later, we ty-rapped Stingray bicycles to the rack atop the station wagon to add to the fun. Then we got a new popup. We went to Yellowstone. It was the trip of a lifetime. Then, they grew up. In 2002, I wore a tuxedo every other Saturday for 27 days: Each daughter had a formal wedding, in birth order, on July 6, July 20 and August 3. Little sh*ts! :) Now they bring my GRANDCHILDREN camping. Life is good!

The curtains in our rig that is 21 years old have been cleaned about every 5 year by putting then in the dryer for about 15 minutes on air setting. You'd be surprised how much better they look just getting the loose dirt shook off!! Tom J
