FINALLY HAVE SOME PRIVACY | VAN LIFE OFF GRID

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

Window covers are usually a pain, because most windows aren't square. I have tiny bits of velcro in the corner of mine currently.

[@LeaveHerWild]

Just bought some Velcro, I’m sure it’ll do the job! 😄

[@rebeccamyers3525]

Velcro is the most amazing invention!! You are doing just great! Or you can get some small magnets and use them to hold the coverings up.

[@brandyf1985]

@@LeaveHerWild maybe try duper glue on windows w velcro...it doesnt melt like other glues. Or suction cups with hooks maybe

[@sighberscamp1]

@@brandyf1985 suction cups never did me any good. They never stay on for me. But maybe I'm doing it wrong. At least they are cheap! I bought a suction cup handrail for my shower and busted my ass. After that I said I will never trust them again

Make the covers a little bigger and put magnets in him you got metal all the way around the windows also I would get a dividing curtain behind your seat one of those heavy duty privacy curtains that everybody is using so when you're in there in the back and you close it off no one to see you

[@displacedyooper9987]

I like the idea of doing a cloth or some type of wall behind the seats as well. Some of the other channels I watch that do stealth camping say they do it because it’s less obvious.

This video is an accurate depiction of of what true van life is like without the frills & misconception that it is like Disneyland all the time. Reality is; it's not.

I would of just gone to Walmart and bought the skinny expandable tension window rods and hung thick curtains. i use these rods in my home windows. Good job on your new home, it will all look very cozy when you're done. Stay well dear. Hugs from this old Grandma.

[@merklingassoc]

I've seen a lot of van builds use magnetics. Hope that helps. So impressed with your new home. ❤️❤️❤️ Here's another thought, glue a thin layer of batting between the cover and material. If you do that you will stiffen the blind as well as add an insulator to your cover. It should help block out the heat in summer and absorb the cold in winter. If your car window surounds are not metal for a magnetic to work. You could attach a small bungie cord to fit across each window, which would hold the window covers in place. They could then be removed & stored when not needed. Just a thought. Good luck....

[@lmoten8611]

I love this idea! I feel like it's the best one yet!

[@virginiareid5336]

Someone suggested a heavy curtain to close off the driving area fom the living area. A find has done that n his larger RV. He finds it is both cooler and warmer in the living area because he doesn't have to cool all the extra space. He just bough thermal lined curtains at Walmart .

[@virginiareid5336]

Ha ha. Friend!!!

[@hikingtochange7589]

If you’re going to be doing a lot of city camping, you might want to cover the reflection in black to make it more stealth. I made my window coverings from cardboard (just what I had on hand) and then sewed a piece of black cloth on one side and a fun pattern on the inside.

[@LeaveHerWild]

I don’t plan to really do any city camping, but yes, a great suggestion!

[@toddpadua6329]

CUT SOME CARD BOARD THE SAME AND SPRAY GLUE TO REFLECTIVE MATERIAL AND THEN SPRAY GLUE CLOTH ON CARD BOARD

[@cindyonthego702]

I love that idea... Then sew magnets around the edges to cling to the metal

[@SeeLionsInTX]

Others have used a cardboard type form to make the covers thicker and stiff so they don't need to be attached to the glass. You could also use foam board with an R-value for extra insulation.

[@MustangSally7259]

Use modge podge glue. Paint all over screen, apply your fabric, let dry, then apply again onto fabric. Works awesome.

I see some great ideas in the comments so I'll keep quiet except for...you go girl!!!

[@myfavs253]

I've seen other people put them up with magnets and if you put black cloth on the other side you can put them up with silver to the outside on hot sunny days and black to the outside in the winter. And check them at night with all the inside lights on to see if there are cracks. The pupil of the eye is tiny and only needs a crack🤤

[@SmallTNHomestead]

Everything looks wonderful Jaylena! If you can find or make small sheets of metal stick in each corner of windows. Sew small magnets into corners of blackout fabric to cling to metal. It would work really well and easy storage for the curtains when you take them down. There are many glues out there that would permanently adhere the small sheets of metal to glass. Possibly JB Weld has one available. They have an assortment of options. Hope this gives you some new ideas to work with💖

[@WayneWatson1]

That will help a lot during summer months to keep the heat reflected back out of the van too. You won't need as much energy to cool it. During winter, reverse it and it will reflect radiant heat back into the van to help stay warm. Looks great. 👍 Really coming along nicely. God bless and stay safe

[@maryfortin6295]

In cold weather put reflective side inside. If you have light source will reflect and make warmer. It is kind of like the mylar emergency blanket. Shiny side to body.

[@Sunsetschano]

great idea!

[@tricia9569]

Put a black curtain behind the seats instead of coverings on front windows. If you use reflectix on front windows it is a dead giveaway that someone is inside. Saw this on another channel that has been doing staelth for 7 years and has had no knocks on his doors in the middle of the night.

[@b.hampton5386]

Nice work! Love the name of your van! For an easy, quick, low budget option try cutting "guitar pick" sized pieces out of the plastic of a 2 liter bottle, round the edges so they are not sharp and staple them to the edge of your window covering material and then all you have to do is wedge them slightly between the glass and the rubber gasket of the windows and the coverings will stay put. You can cover the edges of your window coverings carefully and uniformly with black Gorilla Tape which holds up well to heat. "On the Trail with Bart" used this for his Promaster camper van build, you can see it in his video "Van Update #2 Promaster Conversion: After 4 months of living in it" at 0:34 seconds.

[@OperationLife]

Love your stealth van!! ❤️👍🤠 We use reflectix in our RV... I originally used velcro to hold up the reflectix... I think small window suction cups, or even magnets, would be much better. Also, for the winter it gets pretty cold.... If I were going to do this all over again I would buy some half inch or 1 inch foam and spray adhere it to the reflectix. Then put the fabric on the foam. Thus adding more insulation and durability to the window coverings.

[@cariboudle6915]

For the fabric you can get some iron on batting which will stick to the covers, then sew or stick the fabric to the batting. The batting is slightly thick (different types available) like felt or cotton wool so the bubble pattern won’t show through to your fabric. It will also add softness and further insulation (but will make the covers thicker).

[@kayashmore4296]

Great Idea. I did the same for my camper to save heat when it turned colder. They also have spring loaded tension rods if you need to keep it in place tighter. God bless

[@barbaraspan1437]

Self sticky wallpaper to decorate the inside view of your windows privacy paper. Can change design as often and easier to work with vs fabric. A privacy curtain on a rod can also hang flush to your bed for privacy when your window covers are not up and you do not want your van to appear like you are sleeping in your van when making stops between destinations. Fun times are just up the road. Enjoy Jaylena! 🛣️🛤️🚐

[@Starrmiller]

Hi Jaylena! My suggestion many of your other subs have already said. So yes cardboard & spray adhesives & your material/fabric!!

[@annacarrasquillo1282]

You did good. If you change your mind, consider the magnetic curtain rods for th doors and for the other windows where you have the interior wood around the windows, tension rods. That way when you drive or if you want light, you can open them up.

[@vickymayo6052]

I spent the most time on my window coverings. 4 different shapes in the back and the 2 cab door windows. I cut regular Reflectix half inch larger than windows. The pressure holds it in place for all. The I used black landscape fabric I already had to make 'sleeves'. Think of a flat pillow case. I also added star pattern contact paper to the inside facing pieces . Used the black sleeves for stealth.

[@Bobslady21305]

Hey Jaylena I have an idea that might work. Fellow crafters whata ya think? I craft a lot using fabric n I use modpodge a lot. It sticks very well n also gives a lil stiffness. I would do a coat on reflective piece n then a coat on fabric. I even have used for outdoor craft holiday decorations. Stay safe on ur trip. Just thought I’d toss it out there. Good luck with whatever u choose!! ❤️❤️🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@colleenscottcarmello5103]

Small tension curtain rods should snug them up and also can double for cute curtains. they're used sometimes in house doors, with one rod on top and one on the bottom of the curtain to keep the curtain stationary while the door is being opened and closed.

[@colleenscottcarmello5103]

@@christinewhisenhunt Yes and that foiled bubble wrap is an insulation so it will help keep the temp inside comfy. I think they could work, on the flat part, just before the curve.. they can even go vertical on the flat parts. I had a walk-thru baby gate where we had to stick a stopper, with a lip, to each wall. and the ends of the tension adjusters on the gate tightened right inside and the lip held them from moving.. Kinda like a closet rod, how it sets inside the hole in a piece of wood.. lol oh we are getting into a lot of ideas . ha hard to describe the pictures in our mind sometimes. haha.. One van conversion put a shower curtain rod across the opening at the back of the van (not to the doors) and hung heavy duty black out curtains .. so whether the doors were open or not the curtains could be kept closed or they could be open.. now I thought that was brilliant as i'm sure it insulated the whole doorway rather than just the window.. That may work on the side door as well . not likely the other windows tho. So many ideas.. excited to see how she makes it .. I'm sure it will be great and work wonderfully..

For holding your covers in place, maybe try something like mirror brackets attached to the outside of the windows. For putting your fabric onto your covers, quilt tacking or tying comes to mind. You could actually even use old quilts as your fabric and "tack" them onto your covers.

@Mountain Man Police don't even need a reason to harass van campers, they just do it. They equate it with homeless camps, and poor people are viewed as less than human, and treated very badly. It's wrong, but this wrongheaded behavior is true more often than not. Instead of housing the homeless cities would rather spend money putting boulders on sidewalks, armrests in the middle of benches, spikes under bridges & overhangs, etc. The pandemic hasn't brought us more compassion either.

Back in da day when my parents used to build vans like your doing they used these long skinny spring looking things and took whatever cloth they wanted as window curtains and sowed up the top and bottom then ran the spring through them. Then they used self tapping screws to hold each end of the spring. They used black on the outside and whatever color on the inside depending on the colors inside. Just a thought, that way it’s cheap and then you don’t have to worry about Velcro melting etc...

[@sueevans3492]

To do fabric cover spray on adhesive for fabric will work on it but test it first that it does not melt to foam backing. They do make already fabric that has adhesive on it. Do not use glue stick it will dry out from the heat and pop off. Joanne fabric will have what you need. Another use is velcro dots in each corner.

[@ellyntallon2255]

* FYI* :D Glue magnets to the 4 corners on the window n your panel. And spray adhesive on your fabric. You can use a thin layer of batting glued to the panel, then spray adhesive your fabric to the batting, this will be even more of an insulator. Also you can still use velcro just use a stronger adhesive in addition to the peel n stick velcro

For the side window use small tention rod & hand sew top pocket for fabric rod. There are also magnet rods.

I would use hot glue and attach quilt batting to the inside of your window coverings before adding fabric. Insulation and smooth puffy appearance. Patricia

[@emmalove135]

Crafters use “ e6000” glue for just about everything. Joann’s carries it and fabric glue + you might be able to get some ideas from someone who works there. I was thinking that you could make some “ tabs” to attach to your shades and make the length long enough that you can tack them to the upper wood ( Inner ) part of your Windows and still be able to tuck them in flush against the glass. If you tack a long piece of ribbon or lace in the middle each can be rolled up for your drive- time. For the other windows that are metal, you could try small screws that can accommodate a small to medium size button ( one on each side ) that slotted tabs can fit onto. You can also get some ideas from those people who work at Joann’s or Michael’s ( fabric and craft ) stores. You don’t want hooks cause you could bump your “Noggin “ on one and snag your hair or something. This must be the kind of thing that inspired the old saying ,” Two heads are better than one.” ( Now, Sometimes more.) Good Luck fishin’ for ideas.

If you turn that material on the windows the other way, you can fasten it on the top and then roll it up an fasten it with a loop of some kind so you can bring it up and down without it coming off, kind of like a Roman shade! Put up some of those quick release hooks to loop it on. Good luck on your trip and stay safe. God Bless!

[@Neonchas]

Also velcro will work if you don't put it on the window. Put it like one above it and one on each side. Then a matching piece hang over the side of the top and both side and stick it. You could put the velcro that is on the reflective material, in between it and the fabric using the modge podge glue like I saw suggested.

[@nancymayberry1900]

With the pieces you cut already as another person suggested, you could tie a couple small magnets with a striing to hold the window covers in. You could do the same with curtains.

[@masmojo8220]

I think that your best bet would be magnets. Those seem to work really well. If the reflecix and your cover material are thin enough you could probably whip stitch the magnets around the edges of the covers.

[@dianecline8422]

Jaylena Getty some felt to attach to the back of the window covers before adding your fabric within the fabric adhesive spray. This way you get additional insulation and avoid the funky pattern.

[@KThom429]

Maybe some quilted material if you can find a light version. Then you can use the fabric spray and it wont show the bumpiness of the reflective material.(?) You could also glue some tabs to the back of the reflective material with magnets to help hold the material to the van frame.

Make a pocket out of fabric with 1/4 inch seam all the way around and buy small earth magnets and sew them inside the seam all the way around. Also if you have that extra seam around it then you will for sure have privacy and it won’t be so retentive putting them up. Buy a king size large black sheet for cheap material and then it also will just look blacked out from outside.

A privacy curtain behind the front seats will keep things stealth, As soon as you add covers to the front windows people will know someone is living inside. For times when you are parked and openly camping, the outside windshield covers that wrap around and cover the windows on the front doors are ideal, because sun doesn't have a chance to access the glass, that will help keep the heat out. There are companies that make these outer covers specifically for your van.
