Need to protect curtain mount from our recliners

[drjjj]

2007 3400RL. A while back our recliners that were in the rear of the living room died, so we moved the couch from the curbside slideout to the rear (it fit, but barely) and bought LazyBoy theater seating with a console in the middle for the slideout. We bought wall huggers, but what we have found is that when we travel the theater seating moves just enough backwards that it hits the lower curtain mounts on either side of the window there and pulls them loose. I originally thought about anchoring the legs of the seating to the floor, but we travel with two dogs and a cat and we routinely have to get behind the seating to retrieve toys, etc., so that won,t work. I need to put something behind the seating that will keep it from moving backwards. My initial thought was to put a toilet paper holder over each curtain lower attachment (with a roll on each of them) which would be hidden from view and should keep the seating from moving back and hitting the wall when traveling. This group is so resourceful that I thought I would post this and see if anyone has a better idea. Thoughts?

If you are talking about real cloth curtains, then my simple solution was to remove the metal things at the bottom that connect to the curtain. If you are talking about the day/night shades in those era of rigs, that is something else. I have a 2013 and I soon took these metal things off by the back windows(side). Can't really tell it.

Could you put a board on the floor that the legs would hit and stop the seat from moving back to hit the wall?

We removed the curtains altogether in our 2017 and like the look much better. In our 2013 we removed the curtains and the valances and went with regular curtains we made.

As for stopping the chairs from moving - my couch is on the side where you put the chairs, I think. It kept sliding forward as we bounced down the road. I took an aluminum angle iron piece and screwed it into the floor. The couch has only jumped over it once in the last 5 or 6 years.
