How to Make a Shower Curtain Rod for a Travel Trailer

If you purchased a used travel trailer, you may be looking for ways to spruce it up. Older travel trailers often lack certain amenities necessary for daily living while on the road. If the shower in your travel trailer doesn't have a curtain rod, you may find it difficult to find one in the appropriate length. This custom PVC curtain rod uses a simple tension method to hold it in place, so no drilling is necessary.
