    I saw the strawfoot ($$) and the Weathertech window covers, but I was wondering what else people use for blacking out all of the the windows for camping in the back of their rig??? any instructions on homemade window covers?? how do yours work if you have molle panels in the back windows?? I did my maiden camping voyage in the back and loved it, so now I want to mod it out for that purpose and the molle panels and window covers are next on the list... ty

    None yet. Rock rails ASAP.
    I second Reflectix. It is Also available at Home Depot/Lowes. I just held it up to the window, roughy traced with sharpie, cut wide, then trimmed where needed until they wedged in. Requires no Velcro that can damage you’d interior liners, nor adhesives that will leave residue. If you cut right it will wedge into the edges of the window frame and stay by itself. You Can get a can of spray adhesive and put black fabric on one side or leave the outside reflective for hot climates. Takes maybe 20-30m to make a set. Makes a big difference camping in cold weather!
