hooks for caravan curtains

Types of hooks for caravan curtains.

Caravan curtains are generally hung on hooks which clip over the window frame, either plastic or metal. 

Some rails also have end stops on them. These end stops prevent the curtain from falling off the rail, particularly when driving along.  The curtain hooks in my caravan however are fixed in place.  To replace then you would need to unscrew the track.  The curtains themselves however can easily be detached so that they can be washed.
