Stealth Blackout Curtain - BLACK
The Van Wife Components stealth blackout curtain in black lets you close off the front of your van at night so it looks like a parked vehicle, not a camper. AVC RIG carries it for anyone planning on urban camping in a Ford Transit or Mercedes Sprinter.
Why Van Wife Made the Stealth Blackout Curtain
This curtain was born from trying to go stealth mode (staying in a place not designated for camping). Van Wife used to put window coverings in the front windows. That seemed to signal to everyone around that someone was sleeping in the van, and it got them asked to leave. With this curtain, you simply close it each night. From the outside, the van just looks parked.
Key Features
- Tailored from heavy duty fabric in black.
- Carefully placed magnetic and tie closures block light from leaving the van.
- Ties back to stay out of the way when not in use.
- Helps a lot with heat blockage from the front of the van while you stay cool in the back.
Insulated vs. Non-Insulated Model
The insulated model reaches the floor in the Sprinter van. It has a magnetic flap to make room for a diesel heater under the passenger seat, if needed.
The non-insulated model does not reach the floor in the Sprinter, but it will reach the floor in the Transit.
Using a Stealth Blackout Curtain for Urban Camping
If urban camping is part of your plan, this curtain is a must-have. Light is what gives a camper away at night, and covers stuck in the front windows tell people someone is inside. A stealth blackout curtain keeps the light in the living area and leaves the front of the van looking normal. On hot days the same curtain blocks heat coming in from the front, so the back stays cooler. Less heat up front makes a big difference on summer nights. Pick the insulated model if you want it to reach the floor in a Sprinter or you have a diesel heater under the passenger seat. Pick the non-insulated model if you drive a Transit and want a floor-length fit.
