Awhile back I asked for ideas for a cab separator curtain and something to keep things from falling out of the bunk area. For some reason I can't find either post. Anyhow, I wanted to follow up with my solutions. I knocked off Theresa's curtain idea and used someone else's recommendation for mesh. I am just adding a little trim piece above the curtain for a better seal. I used carabiner clips for the mesh so it's easy to take down. I think both should work OK.

Hi - we were the ones showing our mesh we had used. You connected your mesh with..:
Looks like grommets attached with the fish fabric pieces? Do you have a link / explanation? Looks like a more robust connection.

That's all it is. Just took a piece of fabric we had laying around, cut four little patches, folded them over the edge of the mesh and sewed them in place. Then I just put a grommet in each one. Works OK.
In that I removed the bunk cushion, I installed a couple of 5" high stoppers for the area not protected by the mesh.

Follow-up on bunk area
Finally got the bunk area the way we want it. We can store heavy stuff on the left and right behind the 5"x22" boards while the rest of the stuff goes behind the red mesh. I added an 1 1/2" fence as an extra measure in case the mesh let us down. Good to go.

Your "foreman" on the wall should keep everything in line.
BTW, your flowery pillow is the exact pattern of the blouse I wore yesterday! I love it - so happy a fabric.

Was the white track original? Where did you get the clips that ride in the track?

The track was original. I had removed it. Glad I saved it. I got the clips from Todd. You can also get them on Amazon much cheaper. Look for track curtain hooks or gliders.

Hi Bob; Different years had different tracks. Or maybe some had replaced the tracks. My '99 has this type: Amazon.com: JR Products 81085 Sliding Eye Curtain Carrier - Type A : Automotive (https://www.amazon.com/JR-Products-81085-Sliding-Curtain/dp/B002UC6U5U/ref=asc_df_B002UC6U5U/?linkCode=df0&hvadid=312087868266&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7075969611557974910&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9061201&hvtargid=pla-567972890300&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=58868507981&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312087868266&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7075969611557974910&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9061201&hvtargid=pla-567972890300) Available at many locations.
I didn't like the sharp ends on the steel curtain hooks, so I sewed each plastic slider directly onto the curtain. This type might do: https://www.sailrite.com/Button-Carrier-w-SS-Hook-for-Ceiling-Mount-Curtain-Track-Pack-10?gclid=CjwKCAjwx_eiBhBGEiwA15gLN3vQ60RYN9Om6tEkqtzLGHmdoZdq6vAtR2jPlq9ikuM3XrUaK3-56BoCc3EQAvD_BwE
