Blackout & Ventilation
The best camping accessories are those that combine multiple functions while taking up minimal space in your van.Protection Against Heat, Cold, and Light
The light-blocking fabric keeps sunlight out, while the insulating blackout cover for the windshield further ensures a comfortable interior climate.A Perfect Fit
This blackout system is manufactured specifically for the VW T4, ensuring a precise fit for its windshield and front doors.Blackout Covers for the Windshield and Front Doors of Your VW T4
Keep the light out, let the air in. With our cab blackout system, the interior of your van stays at a comfortable temperature; condensation stands no chance, and you won't be woken up at dawn by the first rays of sunlight. These light-proof blackout covers are available for the windshield, for both front doors, or as a complete set (offering savings of €69 compared to purchasing items individually). A particularly practical feature: the windows behind the front-door covers can remain open. Blackout and ventilation—all in one.
Insulating Windshield Blackout Cover
The windshield blackout cover features an insulating backing. The ability to block cold winter air radiating from the large glass surface is immensely helpful in maintaining a pleasant interior climate within the van during low outside temperatures.
A Perfect Fit for the Front Doors
The blackout covers for the front doors are made from a light-proof yet lightweight fabric. They feature a double-layer design that allows them to be pulled over the front doors like a hood. The windows situated between these layers of fabric can still be opened. A flap on the exterior of the cover can be opened to let plenty of fresh air into the camper van. Thanks to the integrated mosquito netting, insects stay safely outside. Thus, these blackout covers not only ensure a comfortable atmosphere but also prevent condensation from forming on the interior surfaces of the windows after a night spent in the van.
Watertight—Even in the Rain
The fabric is water-repellent. No moisture can seep in, even in the gap between the door and the roof rail. In rainy weather, water simply beads up and rolls off the fabric. After a rainy night, you can usually just give the covers a quick wipe-down before packing them away. However, if there has been heavy rain or snowfall, the exterior of the fabric may remain damp.
You can then lay the damp sides against each other and roll them up loosely. This ensures the trunk remains largely dry. And as soon as the sun comes out, simply unroll the covers, and they will dry incredibly fast.The fabric is not UV-resistant. Prolonged exposure to strong sunlight may result in discoloration.
Also Suitable for Doors with Wind Deflectors
The covers are sized to ensure they can effectively darken front doors, even those equipped with wind deflectors.
Installing the Blackout Covers
Here’s how to protect yourself from unwanted sunlight, heat, and cold:Lay the windshield blackout cover flat against the windshield. Secure it inside the vehicle using the Velcro strips attached to the fabric (fastening to the A-pillars and into the door jambs). We provide four separate Velcro strips for this purpose, which you should adhere to the door jambs near the A-pillars.
To black out the front side windows, open the driver’s or passenger’s door and slip the corresponding side cover over it. Pull the cover down as far as it will go and secure it by tying the attached straps around the side mirror.
Now you can open the window, prop up the side vents using the exterior Velcro fasteners, and let your van enjoy a breath of fresh air.
Packed Dimensions of the Blackout Covers
The side covers fold down compactly to a size slightly larger than a standard DIN A4 sheet. The windshield cover also folds down to a small size; due to its insulating layer, the resulting package is only slightly thicker than the side covers.Additional Information
