Windscreen Blinds Alternatives

[Princess Doris]

Our Princess Doris is fast approaching her 1st Birthday and we are planning our first trip of the year this weekend. 4 nights in London.
I've been preparing things and thinking what works well and not so well.
We find the windscreen blinds and front door magnetic curtains all a bit fiddly.
Thinking about a wrap round screen cover, lightweight but durable.
Looking for thoughts and suggestions.
TIA

We have used one of these external covers for the last six years https://www.comfortzleisure.net/product/comfortz-vw-t5-t6-thermal-windscreen-cover/
+ives - good insulation reduces condensation on the inside of the windscreen, easy to fit.
-ives - rain overnight means its wet to pack up in the morning

Ours has worn well some bits of velcro now a bit tired but easy to replace.

Bought one of these https://fuellagoon.co.uk/products/t6-screen-cover-deluxe-pop-top-version after a recommendation from someone (sorry forget who!) on here. Blocks light, installs in a minute or two, folds up small, rain is easy to shake off if it gets wet and fits a 6.1 perfectly. I paid a fiver extra for the ties but could have DIY'd them better.

+1 for the Fuel Lagoon one. Easy to use, folds up small, very cheap, even the deluxe one.

We have this as well, good for the money. We tend to use in spring, autumn when a bit cool. We have an insulted one for winter and use the provided VW ones when hot in summer. All have + and -‘s.

The Project Camper ones are really good quality. Apologies but it is a German website - https://www.project-camper.de/

I have a full set of these and they are excellent. Thermal too, which is a bonus.
No horrible sucker marks on the windows either.

Agree. We don’t mind the VW one when the mornings are dark TBH. We had thermal ones but ditched to save space.

Another convert here. Wide range of colour options, easy to install and store. Optional black outward side, especially useful when stealth camping.
The external ones are great on a campsite but not practical when wild camping IMHO. And I would be concerned the fabric will move in the wind and abrade the paintwork

Not to mention that when it rains, external blinds may have to be packed away when wet

Probably why Maidment_Ocean uses insulted blinds in the winter

Isn't insult against the forum rules?
