    Lightbulb Privacy Curtain in front of heat vent 21BHE

    The first time we had to use our heater we discovered a bad design flaw with the privacy curtain for the murphy bed. It hangs directly in front of the heat vent for that part of the trailer. Don't know if all models with privacy curtains have that issue, but what has anyone done about it? Not only does it block heat from the vent, but it heats up the curtain which could conceivably become a fire hazard. What were they thinking? (Or NOT thinking?) Any suggestions? We are tired of constantly tucking the curtain up just below the TV. There has GOT to be something better! Ideas?

    We have similar issue in ours, which we've had since February and we've done lots of cold camping, down to 20 degrees. The curtain stores in front of the duct. Don't sorry about it. The warm air still flows around the fabric, and it's not hot enough to burn it. And our dog Leo blocks the vent when we move the curtain.

    Is it hanging right on heat vent? If so would a floor vent hood work https://www.zoro.com/zoro-select-flo...iABEgIZvfD_BwE

    Plan to take the curtain off on my 21BHE and shorten it about 12 inches.
