Homemade Camper Van: Simple, Easy Curtains

Step 3 Done! And a few more things you can do.

Here's a night-mode pic from outside the van with the dome light on. Note how no light is visible from the left side with the blackout curtains.

A few more things you can do:

You can see the reflectix in the pic here and in the first pic. It is reflecting the flash in the first, and here it is reflecting the street-light.

In real life, it's quite hard to see unless you stand beside the van and give it the eyeball. However, if your windows are less tinted than mine, you may want to spray it black on the outside. I'm leaving it shiny for now in hopes of getting a slightly higher insulation value during the day.

The inside is very shiny. While it does boost light levels inside greatly, it's a little hard on the eyes. My girlfriend claims she will paint something cool on them, so it will look more like home.

While I was working on the left side window, quite a few people walked past on the sidewalk (the right curtain was already done). I watched them, and nobody gave the van a first glance, let alone a second glance.
