    Sold Vw T6 Cab Window Mosquito Screens

    Bought these from eBay before a trip earlier in the year on the off chance they’d fit a t6.1 - given they showed a T6.1 in images but specifically mentioned only fits T6 I thought it was worth the chance… they don’t. I’ve now left it too long to return so looking to pass on to someone that can...

    Front window mosquito nets

    Hey, can anyone recommend a set of simple windows nets for the front windows of the T6? We occasionally sleep in our (non camper) T6 and leave the front windows open to allow ventilation. Works well but leaves us at the mercy of midges etc. Cheers, Cuiken

    Sliding door flyscreen

    Hi Guys I purchased a 120w x 150d flyscreen on Amazon for £22 - it fits the onto the Transporter Sliding door with Velcro provided with very little trimming. I’m used a few magnets also. Message me if anyone wants more info. The flyscreen looks really good.

    Buying insect netting??

    Just in case anyone is travelling to the highlands this year and is thinking of buying insect netting… This is the difference between an Amazon sourced insect net material (left) and a proprietary midge net material. (right) BTW —. Highland midges are bloomin’ microscopic buggers and do...

    12v insect electrocutor??

    As per the title, I'm looking for something decent enough to zap any mosquito/gnat/midge that dares to enter my awning and van. Can anyone recommend a decent light please? preferably rechargeable. It's not being bitten that I don't like, it's that really annoying high pitched buzz they make...

    Custom made bug / mosquito nets

    My wife made us some mosquito nets for the cab windows. The top few inches is a waterproof material to enable the windows to be opened a few inches when it’s raining. They attach with magnetic tape which was sowed into the seams. Really easy and quick to fit and remove. We can’t fit wind...

    Vanshades windowpods and Mosquito Screens

    Has anyone tried to fit the Jerba midge screens to their van while having the vanshades window pods in? They look as though there should be enough room between the unit to get them in, and the angle to get the screen through the vanshades opening but not too sure. Thanks Ash

    Tailgate Flymesh!!

    Does anyone have any cheap but effective ways to make a rear tailgate flyscreen on a T6 for when you are sleeping. Not wanting to spend $500 on pre-made ones. Is there a pattern that someone has to do it yourself ?

    Tailgate Lighting

    Here's a question, might help with a project dilemma that's bugging me... If you have lights on your tailgate for when the door is open so you can sit at the back, do you have white light or colour changeable lights? Is there a better colour for not attracting flies and moths?

    Sliding-Window Bug Screen

    I’ve seen post about these but could not find anything when I searched so apologies for starting another post. I’m after the vents that fit in the rear sliding windows that stop the midges from entering the van whilst offer ventilation when camping. If you have these, would you mind sharing...

    Insect and security screen mesh installation

    Does anyone know if I can get an Insect screen for my sliding side windows? One that's gonna stop midges? Or shall I replace the sliding door window with a pop out that comes with an integrated midge screen? (If such a thing even exists......???)

    Sliding Door Mosquito/Midge Netting

    Anyone have any first hand reviews of mosquito/midge netting for the sliding door? I know kiravans, reimo and brandup all do one but they all look completly different in design with fixing points. So far I'm leaning towards kiravans as their pictures seem to do their product more justice than...

    Midge Netting For Sca Roof

    ok our SCA roof is brilliant but midges can get through mesh in Windows. Just had a week up in Sutherland and they did come through. Sprayed mesh with smidge repelant which worked for a while but would wake up in morning surrounded by midges, too hot to sleep with Windows zipped up. Any...

    Vanshades Vs Swellshades

    I'm looking for some 1st hand experience of "Vanshades" (blinds with frame surround) vs Swellshades (blinds without the frame surround). I think I prefer the look of the vanshade with the carperted frame surround, but I really don't like how the frame takes up so much of the window -...
