Differences in Dimensions of Various Model Shapes?

OAT · 2017-05-21 16:04:41

Can anyone please clarify how different the windscreen and side window dimensions are on the various model shapes?

I am looking for interior silver screens. Would those listed as for up to 2006 models fit?

Sorry I'm not able to answer your question per-say but............ I bought a set of universal fit silver screens as I was too slow on deciding to buy the correct ones

along the lines of these
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/motor-home-un … 2850320286

No idea if there is such a thing as small, medium or large universal fit screens

being universal they were cheaper but obviously not an exact fit

If any thing the windscreen is a reasonable fit - The side window screens are a little on the tall side and have to jiggle the angle a bit to cover the glass and tend to hang down the door card some what...............

did consider getting a DIY kit and trying my hand at doing a couple for the doors and to double up on the reflective roller blinds on the side glass but as yet the universals do fine

I was the same as Vaz. To slow on the amazon ones so got universal. MIne were transit size so plenty large enough over the screen and the side ones look the same as Vaz link. THe small triangle window i just make them using bubble foil car and the carpet you glue on the wall. Suckers can be bought on ebay as i recommend adding some to the screen one if you buy large.

This looks good if it measures up. Last picture gives sizes

Cheers both.

It's the shape I am most concerned about, mostly for privacy rather than insulation (at least till winter). So cheap universal ones should so long as they cover. The dimensions given don't really help with shape. Will be fine, or could even be better if they are too big as they should just overlap or tuck away.

I also looked at diy but the proper stuff is about £20 + pm! And enough decent rubber suckers another £20 +.

I would have gone for those you linked to Casper if I had seen in time. They looked good quality and went for £30.

Your main problem is the window height not so much width. These vans have a good slope making for long glass. Look at a Transit what looks a large screen but its shorter than yours. I think if you get a good used set for a later boxer or the likes you will be fine, also the wee edges that are not covered. Some perv standing looking in is more in your head rather than some sod doing it unless you camp at dogging sites.

I went for universal in the end.

The front is good for size but as Casper suggested, only just deep enough. The sides are not too good though. They are shaped for the modern types with side windows which drop lower at the front.

I plan to use the material of the sides cut down for the rears and make some diy side ones.

Casper... Could you repost that link to the reasonable prices silver bubble wrap again, can't find it. Ta.

Odd problem with one corner of my windscreen which won't stick the plastic suckers. Not just those from the screen but the sat nav one too. Obviously I have tried cleaning it three times. and very vigorously. Including with proper glass cleaner and rain away. Vinegar and meths next on the list. Nothing visible at all and just 6" around the corner. I suspect silicone from a dash dandy type cleaning spray.

And strange you should mention dogging...

My van has windows all round apart from side rear quarters and came fitted with quite good quality well fitted curtains. Should have been a bonus but they are absolutely plastered in pictures of awful cartoon dogs. I have reversed the ones I could to show plain white outside but it doesn't help the interieur. Some can't be reversed either. I have risked a few rural CP's in it but haven't had any offers yet (good or bad). smile

Its 10 meters mate so may be a bit overkill for you

Its single layer so i doubles it over before cutting to size. Here is the backing felt

And here is what i did

Managed to find a 5m roll not too dear.

Followed Caspers suggestion of the felt too as I think I may also use them occasionally with the black felt outward as blackouts for the rear while parked up in towns.

I just did the two sides and rears to get rid of the doggers curtains I had as I will use the universal ones in the front.

Also wondering if silver to the inside might be better for heat retaining on a night? I think I might give the felt a spray of water repellent to prevent it soaking up condensation and experiment.

Quite enjoyed making them apart from the gaffer tape edging. sad

Bloody stuff gums up the scissors and won't go round corners. It got worse as my patience ran out and I didn't really make a very good job of it. I doubt they will last long. I would find someone who could sew cloth tape round if I did it again.

No time now though. Off on a long awaited, extended solo trip as soon as I can get ready.

Free to anyone who dares...

Full set of good quality, well made, lined curtains to fit front back and sides of Expert/Scudo/Dispatch. White on one side, multi cartoonish prints of dogs to the other.

Would suit doggy types who go to shows or perhaps someone with a window box full of pampas grass. smile

Funny as i just made two more as teh roller blinds i had were not hanging correct so as i had the stuff left over this was the cheaper option. And stop going dogging, it will ruin your paintwork.
