Curtain track for Barrel Roof Trailer?

I would like to install a curtain track across the width of my trailer's arched ceiling to block off the bed area.
I need to keep headroom so don't want to use a straight rod. Looking for a ceiling mount curtain track, preferably aluminum, that can be bent/flexed to fit the arch. Don't want plastic...too flimsy and besides, all I can find are bendable into curves, not an arc. The height difference is 4.5" from the sidewalls to middle of ceiling, so it wouldn't have to bend much over that 8' distance.
Has anybody put in a track on a ceiling like this?
Appreciate suggestions on hardware.

So.. have you thought about what that will look like? The curtains would need to be longer in the middle than the sides and would bunch up on the floor if the goal is to move the curtains out of the way occasionally.

If so, plastic would really be your best bet. I had a curtain like this on my old trailer (it had a flat roof). It never came down. It was secured using short screws into the luan. It did move fairly well on the plastic. One time the kids ripper it down on one side but it wasn't a problem.. I just moved the mounting screws over (and added one).

Looking around online a bit I don't see anything like the one I had in my old Rockwood. Nothing looks like it would bend to a barrel shaped ceiling.

I think I'd go for a straight bar and find a way to reinforce it in the center.

I don't care what they would look like when closed. The curtains just need to hang as low as the top of the mattress!

I bet I can use a "C" channel aluminum ceiling track and put a slight arc in it.
My thought is to try a "C" channel track with roller curtain carriers. I bet it will work. Put a little bow in it, double sided tape and some self-tapping screws and boom! Done!

Could you use a track and rollers like a hospital bedside curtain. Realize you couldn't bend it very much
