Windscreen Blind or Wrap

[RichardMcCready]

New to the T6 camping experience. Looking forward to our first night away however what do people recommend for blocking out the front windscreen and side windows? A wrap that fits around the outside or thermal blinds inside? Any recommendations where to buy? Thanks Richard

Personally I prefer the inside blinds.
Easier to store in a vehicle the size of a T6 and they stay dry during rain so no soggy problem storing.

Some others like the exterior wrap covers.

You pays yer money ….

I have both internal and external.
Condensation can be a problem with the internal ones but not had any with the external.
Only downside with the external is the size and weight, it’s a big old lump.

Just for feedback, I never really had a problem with condensation with my internal screen covers, that’s not to say I didn’t have any condensation, just not very often.
Come to think about it, I always used the pop top and that provided ventilation enough to prevent condensation.

You’d have to ask others if condensation forms when using the external blinds to make a judgement.

We use external, yes they are relatively bulky but the insulation quality is high.

We've had both, prefer the inside thermal blinds. Got ours from Just Kampers, good quality & price. No major condensation issues & you don't have to get wet fitting & removing them.

condensation issues aside... was wondering, with the current hot weather, which one is more efficient to keep the interior cooler: an external blackout wrap or an internal one with the silver side facing outwards...

External as it will prevent the glass heating up

I agree, best to stop the sun heating the glass which then radiates heat. I have the deluxe T6 specific one from fuel lagoon, very compact when folded away and comes with a storage bag.
