Excellent instructional video. Good camera work, pleasant narration voice, simple and effective. So easy to follow. I liked the pros and cons for each type. I liked the cost summary of each type. Good editing trimming away unnecessary footage or comments. I also liked not having and background music.

You make a really good instructional video. Thorough, with nice slow panning video, and all the things we want to know - right down to cost and precise amounts. Easy to watch and I learn a lot! Thanks.

I fourth this video of the month. Very precise and informative. Thanks so much!!

When I make my window covers I use cardboard and I paint the edges and outer sides with flat black spray paint. Painting the edges makes the cardboard stay together much longer. I spray the inner side with gloss white paint. The white inside reflects light better. The flat black on the outside makes them invisible to anyone trying to see in, and the combination of the two seals up the cardboard to last longer.

The black does not reflect light and will actually make your space much hotter. If you aren't concerned about the heat, the black is great for stealth.

Black will retain heat making the inside hotter.....white reflects heat...(think about very hot countries that paint the outside of the house white ...it,s done for a reason)...😎.

I'm not as concerned with it being a little warmer at night, as I am with being ANONYMOUS.

The way you use paper to get the shape of your window is genius. I've seen other KZreadr trace it with cardboard, use aluminum foil, trace the outside of the window, and it has never made much sense.

WOOOWWW omg ingenious!! Sticking the papers on the window and then tracing that way. Smh I gave up before with another method, but I'm gunna try THIS! THANK YOU! 🙏🏾🙌🏾

Used white coroplast as my privacy coverings on my white Plymouth Voyager minivan back in 1996. Used small zip-ties threaded through 2 slits to act as grab handles for removing covering when necessary for travelling. Didn"t have a need for insulation for cold weather but they kept the heat down in the summer. Lasted great for 12 years until I sold the van.

That's pretty good. Another thing you can do is run black electrical tape on and around the outer edge of the window to give you more blockage.

This was such a fantastic video. I've been looking for a straight forward approach to getting my windows covered and this is it. And your video was so easy to follow and watch also. Thank you!

I’ve watched LOTS of how-to videos on van conversions but yours are the best at giving practical advice with detailed instructions. So glad I discovered your channel! My husband and I just got our van and window coverings are my first task. Thanks for making it easier!

Excellent. The first and last video you need to see in order to grasp making your own window covers.

To try to get the wrinkles out of the silver blanket as you stick it down, try using the edge of a credit card to push out the bubbles and/or one of the little rollers for smoothing the edges of wallpaper - or even just a bottle or a rolling pin!

Such a fab video, and the best ones I've seen demonstrated. I thought there must be a woman here on youtube that has made better ones than the men have, and its true! They look nicest and three types too. Brilliant! Thankyou i know how best to do it now and what to use. Fantastic x

Wow! 🤩 You have created such an excellent instructional video on the subject of window coverings! It’s the best I’ve seen yet!😃 I have not seen so many creative ideas on this subject on any other channel. Thank you 💝 for your detailed instructions, especially including the tabs, with all the details that I’m always wondering about. Thank you so very much for not only sharing your creativity, and what works and what doesn’t, but such wonderful videography showing every detail .I will definitely be subscribing and watching all your videos. Keep up the great work! 😃

Great idea to use reflective emergency mylar blankets. We used window reflective screens for one of our layers, but I think the blanket gives you much more sizing flexibility and keeps the thickness of the covers to a minimum.

Hi Chris and Emilie, I also started out with one of those windshield shades but found it very bulky. The mylar blankets have proven pretty durable too.

I really appreciate the three methods you demonstrated plus the cost for each version. Thank you, and good luck stealth camping.

Love all of your practical and common-sense instructions. Thank you for your great videos!

Great detail. Love calculating costs. Thanks sooo much!

Best campervan window cover video I've found thanks!

Great video and great tutorials. I used cardboard covered with black vinyl wall self-stick wallpaper on both sides. I left about 3/4" lip of wallpaper all the way around. This helps to hold them in, and also pull them out. I also folded the bottom edge of the side window covers to make them easier to pop in and out. Thanks again for a great video.

Brilliant. Thank you for UK

I am so grateful this video showed up in my recommendations feed, I just used an old roll of craft/butchers paper I’ve owned for at least 10 years lol, to make the templates, but I haven’t gotten past that. I never thought to make different materials for the different times of year, but this video was so clearly explained I now have the confidence to get on with it. The tabs are a brilliant idea. Thank you for sharing your process with us!
