We're glad you liked the video! Thanks for your support on making more window covers, though we won't be selling them anytime soon as they are quite a bit of work to make.

Thanks!!

Definitely! I would be your second customer! No screens is probably the #1 reason I’m cautious about car camping! You are extremely talented! God bless you!

Third customer! =)

fourth :)

@@ev6377 Oh no... we'll have to wait until they are back from Greece LoL !

Thank you so much! They took some work, but we love using them.

Thank you!!

Thank you! We’ve been thinking about doing something with the sunroof too. Good luck with your project!

Thanks!! Good luck with your project - let us know how it works out.

Yea, I don't know how to cut plywood. You're talking to someone with no skills whatsoever

Thank you!

Glad to hear!!

Thank you!!

Thanks!

Thank you!!

Thank you! Hope your project goes well!

It’s a good tool to learn how to use!

Thanks!! We hope your build goes well and you figure out a no window frame option!

Thanks! Weight is always a consideration for us too. In this case we needed something sturdy to support the weight of the fan that we wanted to setup by the window. In our latest video we built a clothing shelf from PVC which is super light.

Awesome!! Would love to see what you end up doing.

Thanks!!

Thanks!!

haha! Thanks!

Glad you liked it!

Thanks! In the meantime, you can check out our blog post with a few more details on the build: www.chrisandemilie.ca/windowscreen.html

Thank you!!

We're really happy with them. The fans run for about 4 - 5 nights on the battery packs. Though if it's very hot out and no breeze, some bigger fans would be better. Let us know how your build goes!

Thank you!!

Thank you!

Thanks you!!

Thanks Bruce!! There is some light that comes through the fan so we made little canvas covers that go around those too. (Our shorter video shows them but we forgot to talk about them in the longer video.) We can put them up when we want privacy and take them down when the fans are on. We don’t drive with the screens in place - we put them up when we get to our camp spot and store them while we’re driving. They are pretty tensioned in so they don’t move while we’re parked. The fans are reasonably quiet. We’re happy with them. Funny you mention the deflectors! Through a series of Amazon delivery mishaps we ordered them a while ago but actually didn’t receive them until the other day. We’re looking forward to trying those out next time we go camping!

Thank you!

Thanks for your feedback!

Glad you liked them! We used the screens that go over the outside for a few years but they just weren’t what we needed either.

Thanks!!

Thanks!! It was fun to work on!

Thank you! The canvas was mostly done with a sewing machine but we did the magnets by hand. You might be able to get away with a machine for those too, depending on your sewing machine and attachments. We wanted the magnets to stay in super tight, which is why we did them by hand.

@@ChrisAndEmilie I have never made friends with a sewing machine. I use 3m double sided VHB tape for all my fabric joining needs. I'd like to get adequate at hand sewing, just for situations like those magnets. Still, using two layers of 1" wide tape and trapping the magnets in between them...VHB tape is wonderful, and I suck at sewing. I live in an 04 sienna, just ordered some extra stretch, extra strength insect mesh yesterday to build screens with. Will cut it oversize, start with just twenty or more magnets and secure it to the steel on inside, the frame area that's accessible once the sliding door is released. If I have clearance for the thickness of the magnets, when door is closed, that will be first version.

@@docwatson1134 Haha - we get that as sometimes we just use hockey tape! Keep us posted on your screens!

​@@docwatson1134 how did the magnet plan work out?

Thank you!! Let us know how your project goes!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks!! We use a 10,000 maH battery for each fan and it lasts about 5 nights on the high speed setting. You might be able to get them to last longer as we’ve never fully drained the batteries.

@@ChrisAndEmilie that's pretty good! I'm planning on a 2 week road trip that will involve stealth camping and this'll be perfect for it.

Awesome! Let us know how it works out for you!

@@ChrisAndEmilie would you consider making these?

Awesome! We used these in our trip across Canada and they were great. We hope you have a wonderful trip!

Thanks! They were fun to make!

Thank you!!

Thanks for watching! You can make your frame with the fan on the other side if you prefer. We placed ours on the far side so it wouldn't be directly over our face when we slept. We made it so that it's not sitting over the "little part" of the window though.

Thanks! We came up with the idea ourselves, so that we could keep the bugs out and have good ventilation at the same time.

@Chris And Emilie yea, I'm definitely gonna copy it for my minivan build. The fan idea is frikin genius, and then the way you have them with their own battery packs in the door 👌

@@ChrisAndEmilie Hi again, I'm seriously getting ready to buy some fans online and get this project started. Do you have any recommendations for the fans? I don't know anything about these sort of fans. Thanks so much!

@@friarbud Hey! These are the fans we used: amzn.to/3b3bTAx And for our blog on the building of the screens, visit: chrisandemilie.ca/windowscreen.html Let us know how it goes!

@@ChrisAndEmilie thanks! Yea, for sure, I'll hit you up when I'm done! 👍

Thanks!

We vary the window height depending on the weather. We leave the windows open a few inches, but no necessarily lower than the lowest part of the fan if it’s cold or rainy out. We also use rain guards on the outside of the windows to keep the rain out. We lock our doors at night, but depending on how far down you open the window, it could be quite easy for someone to push in the frame. And even if it did lock into place, someone could simply tear the netting. There are security products with alarms and sensors that you might want to look into to help with that.

Let us know what you come up with!

Hopefully you’ll find another solution. What kind of vehicle are you camping in?

Thank you! The fan runs for about 3-5 nights, depending on how long we’re running it for each night. Here’s our Amazon affiliate link for the power bank (we’re not sponsored but we make money off qualifying purchases) amzn.to/3gVYVse

​@@ChrisAndEmilie the link doesn't work any more, could you let us know the name please?

Glad you like it! We’re not selling them at this time because they are A LOT of work to make, but we’ll let you know if anything changes.
