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.

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 ? Just curious if there was a reason to not use the outside method?

So long as the rain protectors where not in place already-I was wondering the same thing 👍 Looking forward to the screening

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...✌️

@@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. 😀

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

I like your videos, especially the one about mistakes in converting a van into a camper. I am from Europe, central part, the Czech Republic, age 62, I haven't started working on a camper. This is a phase of gathering useful information.

Thank you Eric for all of your videos! I live in Laguna Beach, California, (USA) but I can't afford to live here anymore, so I'm going to start my Van Life. I got my Mini Van, and I bought the supplies today to start my first project. As you recommended, I will start with putting Reflectix in my windows. I will do it exactly as you taught me. I am a 60 year old woman alone, and I was afraid to take the first step, but your instructions gave me courage to try. Your videos make me feel like I am not alone, but part of a human tribe of pioneers living free. Thank you Eric!! God Bless You!!

Bon jour, and merci for the very helpful videos! I am in Minnesota, not far from the Canadian border. I travel for work and need a van that will help with that. I am just beginning my conversion process. In another video you mentioned the need for a sturdy floor that is easy to clean: thank you for that. I have reflectix on hand & can do that next. Thank you for your explanations "Why" to do something or not do something; few people explain that! In Minnesota we have -40 F up to 100 F and huge changes in humidity, also we have 51 kinds of mosquitoes!!!!! so I am really looking forward to seeing your video about screens. :-)
