I'm so excited! I have a 2017 13' Scamp on order! I want to sew some curtains, and need the flat, finished measurements for the curtains. My Scamp will have the bathroom, so don't need curtain measurements for that end. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

13' curtain measurements
I suggest you wait for the trailer. My wife does our curtains and there are a few issues she has dealt with. Scamp uses light weight material and the curtains gather fairly easy on the cafe rods. If you use thicker material or your rod pockets are too small it won't gather right on the rod. If you use thinner material you will need a liner so you can't see through them at night. The door curtain uses an upper and lower cafe rod and it is a close fit to get the pockets right. (We usually just use the Scamp door curtain.) My wife likes to hang the rear side curtains and hem them to just touch the seat cushions. I think you will be happier with your curtains if you fit them to your trailer.
Tips: Sew 3/4" x3/4" velcro hook material to the lower back corners to either hold the curtains open or closed. It will attach to the rat fur. Use small plastic wire ties to hold the curtain rod in the rod holders to keep the curtains in place during transit.
Good luck with your new trailer.

Wow, a 2017 on the way!
I second Eddie's suggestion to wait for the trailer. Scamp curtains in our opinion are made way too short and it's good to make them to your preference when you have the window right in front of you. If you want to save some time sewing we have always used a glue gun on our curtains and can't tell the difference, holds up as well, and takes a lot less time.
