Building Custom Window Covers for my Vanlife Van

Today's project consists of measuring and preparing the custom magnetic window covers for the back of the van.
Thanks to Vanmadegear.com for helping me with my cabin window covers.
thank you Perfectfit.com for the material to make the covers.

    The van cushions turned out awesome, It will be interesting to see how you do your background for streaming from the van

    Hello Matt. You really have been clever with the interior of your truck, a great craftsman. I really like the truck and your consept for working. You have made some great tour presentages from the far east, and I think people are looking forward to some great reviews from interesting areas and exiting trails in the US. It's a great concept, ofcourse you can make reviews of exciting tours also in the rest of the world. I will wish you luck. Best Regards Arne G in Norway

    Im not sure what it is but Im leaning towards being a relatable good communicator. I understand why I liked your China videos , your factory tour videos , the world tour was down my alley , a van build I get but making cushions and window covers ...... I woukd never have guessed I would have been so interested. Broadening my horizons in less glamorous ways.

    Matt, just a suggestion. We had a bus that we converted but we found that the uncovered metal on the interior tended to cause a lot of condensation in the cold weather. On a cold night there was moisture streaming down the windows and on all the metal. We were not as thorough as you have been in regards to your insulation but just something to note. Love all your videos.

    @@JaYoeNation We put sticks of chalk in the bottom of the window frames where we could and the plan was to cover all the bare metal with thin felt but we never got around to it. We were living in our bus while our cottage was being built, about 6 months.

    Make sure they are sized for easy storage when you aren't using. Folding them will leave crease marks. Other than that, love the finishing touches. Too funny about that guy knowing about the haters.

    "I had a razor blade, I'm not sure where I put it. I hope I am not sitting on it. Because if I cut one of these CUSHIONS." The man is sitting on a razorblade and not concerned about cutting up his buttox, but rather his van cushion. That is van dedication.
