If in your traveling area you can use a regular mosquito mesh, it is better because you will have more air flow. ✌️

[@TravelingTroy]

I’ve been using this same setup for a couple years. Glad to see you showing the black fabric up against the window. Most people don’t take that extra step. Not only is tacky looking to see Reflectix from the outside, but it ruins your stealth. 👍 Good video. From Arizona, USA.

[@ericenjoysearth2756]

Thank you for sharing your point of view. I definitely share the same! ✌️

[@serenakoleno9338]

I agree and want to get refection of light inside at night. But I want it to look more homey and pretty, so might try adding lacy curtain material to reflectix. I am using curtains I already have.

[@ericenjoysearth2756]

Why not! It will be prettier. This aspect is also very important for the satisfaction of using a van!👍

[@cindypearsoncole2395]

Eric, I asked earlier if you use a reflectix + black cover for front windshield. One more question, do you use a blackout curtain between front seats and cabin area? Thanks so much for your advice and videos, they are so helpful! We are in Iowa/USA.

[@ericenjoysearth2756]

I avoid to use a curtain because it reduce the air exchange with the front windows, by creating a wall...✌️

Window tinters cut the tint from the outside window so I’m just curious if it would be easier to still trace on the outside so you don’t have the plastic interference that you do inside stuff following the rule of making it larger than the window itself ?

The window cover will be installed in the inside side. The template must be done to fit the inside contour.... Also, from the outside you would have the window tinter in your way... You need a template that cover the whole window. This template will also be needed for the mosquito screen... a future video...✌️

[@MaggieG70]

@@ericenjoysearth2756 Really looking forward to the mosquito screen. Just bought my van, 2012 Ford Econoline 350 high top. Just subbed and headed now to watch all your previous videos. 😀

Thank you Maggie! Welcome to the channel✌️

but you don’t want to match the window size you want to match the interior opening

Love your vids & appreciate it so very much! My lifelong dream since 4 yrs old is to someday have remote land so I can allow others to have "a soft place to land" & after just over 4 decades now of my life, I now see Van life as my way to make that happen much faster & in a way affordable enough to bring it to fruition, as opposed to costly tiny homes. Plus no zoning worries to deal with either this way. I'd love to build some cobb structures on that dream land too but mainly fill it w/vehicles that have been transformed into tiny homes or at least offer space for people to come in their own vehicles for have a nice hassle free place to park & build a bonfire in season etc. Thank You for all you do for the world, your & Bob's channel have renewed my zeal to keep hold of my vision until it fully realizes. I am viewing from Livonia, MI, US 💜

Wow! What a cool comment! This dream place is going to be awesome! Go ahead with your project. You will never regret it! Thanks a lot for sharing and for your appreciation. It is much appreciated 😃✌️

Thanks, you confirmed my thoughts about leaving a gap for window ventilation. Watching from California.

Weee...got so giddy when I saw a new video from you! You definitely offer the most comprehensive, well explained, and thoughtful ideas. I absolutely can't wait to see the bug screen one coming soon, as I home in sunny Central Florida where the mosquitos and love bugs are pets...err pests...lol! Interestingly enough, my window coverings were made almost exactly as you mentioned. My spray adhesive, however, did not stick the fabric to the insulation. Well, that is not true...it did, but as soon as I put them in the windows, the Florida heat separated them. To be safe, when they were first made, I had added a black tape border around the edge to make it look trimmed, and that seems to still be holding the two pieces together even though the spray glue has failed. I use the freebie tall paint stir sticks/yard sticks from the hardware store as braces to keep any oversize ones stable in the window. Thanks as always for sharing!

[@ericenjoysearth2756]

Thank you Alis for this great comment and for sharing your experience! For the spray adhesive, it is why I said to use the best one possible. I still remember that it cost me something like 60$ of that stuff... And that is also why I explained how to repair it if it unglue, to use carpet tape. You gives us another great solution. I don’t know that tape, but it must probably kind of have a finish not too different from the fabric to stay stealth. Thanks again, giving feedback and sharing experience is very much appreciated for everyone! Yes the screen video is one of the coming one!

[@white_orange]

Exactly what I need. I live in a tropical country. Hot humid weather almost everywhere all year round, as well as mosquito issue. Can't wait for your bug net trick, Eric. Thanks a bunch from Indonesia.

Hawaii! I’ve watched a few on this reflectix but yours is the most comprehensive. And explains why not to put pretty fabric….and about the moisture. I am shipping my SUV to California and will be driving across the country to South Carolina where my kids are and retiring there….sleeping in the back. Concerned a bit about safety as a 62 yr old female….will be buying bear spray and mace…

Hello Paula! You will have a nice trip! Just follow your instinct. I will do a video about what to look for to find a good sleeping spot! Enjoy your trip! It will be an amazing one! Have you seen this similar one...?! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqbFY4Vvr7KFmc0 Thank you for your comment 😃✌️
