A curtain sided vehicle, including a side curtain provided at a side of the vehicle, with the curtain suspended from the vehicle side along an upper edge region of the curtain. A plurality of members is secured to the curtain along a lower edge region of the curtain. Each member is engaged with a guide, and the guide extends horizontally along the side of the vehicle. The guide is movable by a tensioning arrangement relative to the vehicle side between a tensioned mode position and a loosened mode position. With the guide in the tensioned mode position, the tensioning arrangement applies a vertical tension to the curtain between the upper edge region of the curtain and the lower edge region of the curtain. When the guide is in the loosened mode position the tensioning arrangement applies substantially no vertical tension to the curtain between the upper edge region and the lower edge region, thereby allowing the plurality of members to be moved horizontally along the guide. The tensioning arrangement includes an actuator mounted to the vehicle and operable in response to a supply of pressurized fluid from a source of the fluid to the actuator for moving the guide between the tensioned mode position and loosened mode position.
