Hello All,

We'd also like to replace the curtains in the 310. We'd need to locate the header tape used and perhaps some additional curtain hooks. Did you have any luck sourcing the hooks on eBay? If yes, could you please point us in the right direction.

Also, the biggest problem seems to be removing the existing curtains. My wife removed them from the hook, leaving the hook still on the rail but it was an awful fiddle. Is there a way to remove the hook and curtain together. I suspect you twist the hook 45 degrees in the rail and remove it that way? We did not want to try this initially incase we broke one.

Thanks,
Philip.

I took the curtains from our new (to us) Triton ready for winter. (I didn't want anything left in there that could potentially hold moisture, because Morrison is stored covered but outdoors.) At each end of the curtain rail there is a plastic end-stop with a grub screw that, when screwed in, stops the curtain hooks from slipping off the rail. When this screw is undone and the end-stop is removed, the curtain slips off with the hooks still attached.

Making the assumption - which may well be wrong - that the curtain arrangement in your van is the same as our 2008 model, you remove the end stops and slide the whole caboodle out along the rail, hooks and all.

If your end stops are like ours - a translucent nylon thing - you unpick one end of the hinged flap, open it up and pull it downwards out of the track.

As they say in all the best Haynes manuals, reassembly is the reverse procedure.

Our end-stops are white with a little T-shaped screwy thing. If I can find the blooming "Attach File" button I'll post a pic.

Thanks everyone. We'll nip to the storage place on Friday afternoon and investigate the end stops, then report back.
We're going to try to make some new ones to "de-beige" the 310 a bit.

Talking curtain hooks, there are very many different types that have been used by Eriba over the decades. Recently and in response to an uploaded photograph and search request by somebody on Facebook, the following link was added. There was no mention of the year of the van they are used in but the information might be of use to someone. Gardinenraffer plastic m.grau 2st (Code: 561204)

"de-beige".........does that mean they will be "tastefully bling!!" or absolutely "Psychedelic"..............Often considered it, but lack the nerve. .....Ian.

I found replacement hooks on eBay and it was really easy to take down the curtains. There is a gap in each rail and two plastic stops, so they just slipped off really easily. Good design.
We installed the new ones today and I have attached photo's. It was a bit dark in there as we still have the AL cover on.

That's gotten rid of some of the beige. Seat cushions are next.
