We have a new to us 2010 Sun Valley and finally looking into all the nooks and crannys to see what we can do to get it set up the way we want. Looking for storage areas and mods we can do.

Found these snaps on the ceiling. on the front side of the door hanger area there are sets of 2 together, one set near drivers side wall, and other side in middle. then on other side, near door, there is a single set of snaps.

I can only guess that maybe used to have some sort of privacy curtain maybe that snapped in there? Any ideas?

Also, on the white metal roof "support braces" I assume. but there are 2 circle holes on each side. what are those for?

We had a 2010 Coleman Cobalt, and the snaps on the ceiling were in line with the door, meant to snap in in place when closed down. (The door had wires attached to slides on the runners perpendicular to the door, on the ceiling.)

The snaps hold the fabric tabs in place and out of the way when the camper is up and the door installed. When the camper is closed the tabs snap on to the door to hold the door up (against the ceiling) when the camper is closed.

no, I don't think you are able to see the whole picture. I know about the door and the strap holder. it is already snapped up.
But the first question is about the double snaps on the front side of the door sliding rail. I don't think it has anything to do with the door. I am not 100% sure.
as then the is a single set of snaps on the back side of the rail, closer to the door opening.
I thought it might hold some fabric curtain maybe? not sure.

@kitphantom yes, my door looks the same with wires and glides along the rails. these are different snaps, but nearby.

Oh well. just curious

The dbl snaps are for the privacy curtain. The holes are for running wire thru if you have accessories you want to install. My westlake has the same ones.

Thanks! I assumed those snaps maybe for a privacy curtain of some short. Maybe for a different model that came with toilet? who knows.

Now are those support braces strong enough to screw into to hang things?
