DIY MiniVan STEALTH Custom PRIVACY BLACKOUT Window Covers + Tips & Tricks Camping Must Have

This is the first in a series of videos where we convert our Mini Van into a Camper for some cross-country road trips and camping getaways.

I have had questions of why reflectix isn't on the window side for heat reflection, I get it, but when we do that you can clearly see the foil from a distance, these were made for stealth purposes so nobody sees in but we aren't "spotted". If we were in a hot summer day sure you could cut and use the foil side to window for heat reflection, but we don't really camp in the high heat areas or months.

Step one for us was privacy blackout window covers, we looked into buying a set online we weren’t impressed with the choices or looks so we decided to make it a project and get creative with it!

Most of the items are available at your local stores or on Amazon, we hope this video helps to inspire you to make your own, they weren’t hard to make and we were able to choose the fabrics and hey it’s fun to learn and create something custom too!
