Where did you find these? They look interesting

The curtains are not marine. Found the fabric at the local fabric store. I put them in my house during the summer in the southern windows and they work exceptionally well!

[QUOTE=cowlitzcoach;299887]The problem with flat floor buses and tire chains is there isn't enough clearance between the tires and the fender well.
Cowlitz, I have a '98 Thomas Vista 5 window with a flat floor. It has 4.5-5" clearance above the wheels. Do you think chains would fit on this?

It all sort of depends upon the rear suspension and how heavy you load your bus.

With steel springs, even if you load it heavy, the springs will not deflect that much as you travel down the road.

With an air suspension, even if you load it lightly, the bus will move up and down quite a bit as you travel down the road.

If you have steel springs I would use tire chains.

If you have air suspension I would be very cautious about using tire chains.

Thanks, I knew that rough ride was good for something
