It turns out that I had one of the shorter curtains on in the wrong
location. Using a tip from Gerald Masar I used the shorter of the curtains
and fed them through the shock Cord behind the stove to prevent flapping
curtain fires and to stop them flapping around and hold them in place when
driving the rest I placed behind the shock cord and hooked the shock cord
underneath the upsidedown mirror clip ??? Everything looks good now.
Thank you everyone for helping me through this traumatic situation. He also
said he hopes this is the only problem I ever have with my van.

Quote from my wife .. Its just starting to grow on me and and it isn't
helping out by spending all last Saturday in the garage while you changed
fuel lines and this week you say you need to spend $1000.00 on a new
stainless exhaust.

Guess I wont' mention the other little fixxes that I would like to do. And I
will have to hold off longer for that second battery :)

Adam,
I got my 91 MultiVan from the factory and the curtains all hang loose at the
bottom. When you un-snap them and pull them out, they tuck behind the black
cord. The sliding door curtains have small plastic loops that fit over
little knobs. I can send you some pix if that would help.

I like your idea of running the black strechy cord thru the bottom seam
though. Maybe if you could find a way to lower that cord, your curtains
would be nice and tight.
