Thanks Jamie, that helps to understand how they are put together. I'm also curious if the inner surface of the wallboard is an inherent part of the wallboard or if it's applied after the fact like wallpaper. I'd guess it comes that way from wallboard manufacturer. Could you tell the difference?

I've never tried to modify a factory-built camper for fear that if I screw up it may be hard to repair the damage -- however small it may be.


P.S. -- I personally wouldn't worry as much about rod or curtain weight itself as much as a short person (like a child) opening or closing the curtain by pulling at an angle (with downward component to force). I've had similar issue at my parents' house with blinds pulled out of wall.
