You may not believe this John, but that was my EXACT intentions: to have them let ME install the curtains. But we changed our plans as the wife wanted to pick up the
Scamp instead of having them to deliver. So I didnt want to be curtainless (word?) coming home so I said the "heck with it". But you're spot on! My
windows as well protrudes into my
Scamp apx 1". In fact, I use some "shades" I made (with RocLun material) and use velcro stuck on the bottom corners of the window frames to hold the shades against the window. (Because with the angle of the
windows on the sides, they stand away at the bottom.) Of course the curtains hang over these and you dont see them from inside the
Scamp. ANOTHER fault of Scamp- putting "see-through" curtains up from the factory!

I realized too late that this sturdy aluminum frame would make a great support for a wooden strip from which to hang the curtains, much better than Scamp's through hull rivets. I advise folks to ask Scamp to forget mounting the curtains and add the wood strip to their new Scamp themselves. More elegant, more sturdy, less chance of rivet leaks. It would even be easier and cheaper for Scamp to do it this way. This would also make mounting mini-blinds pretty easy too.

PS. Thanks for your kind words.
