Erin, this is genius! Thank you! The video went over the details too quickly for my parched brain, but by slowing it to 25% during the glue-up I was able to fathom your technique. But now I’m a subscriber. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Erin for the video! We were able to create window covers/pillows to slide in between all the windows and shades to block out all light (stealth mode). Now we have to figure best way to handle the back windows since the trim is all plastic - no metal for magnets. Thanks again!

Erin, your DIY window covers are my favorite so far of all I've seen. I was just curious, has the glue held up? I think I'd like to try this method. Also, I love your swivel seat video. You go, girl! :)

Fab, going to make them... but I will probably try and figure out a way to leave one side of the reflectix showing. 99% of the insulation you want on windows is reflecting the sun out... not conduction (way more important on panels)

inputting the gaps seems like an unneeded extra step. reflectix will still roll up without breaks/gaps. so what's the point? someone fill me in.

All together and yet so far.. yea not together at all though, still feels like we “shared” a good laugh separately.. in different states. Ha! The internet is so interesting that way. But ya looks like you will have enough of that black webbing to send some my way, I mean what are you going to do with the other 20 something yards left over? Ha, I hope you post every wee little thing you make, every Van protect you do, because you are really clever and your stuff is sound! The videos you post are really helpful, FUNNY, and encourage me to feel like ok, I got this!! Such great tutorials REALLY! Thank you.OXO ✌️

i believe reflectix only reflect heat / light. u should use closed cell foam with foil backing on 1 side and use dark fabric on the other side for colder weather. but it will only provide like up to 1R value. combining thinsulate or wool / polyster filling will get u slightly more insulation depending the thickness. but yea they will increase total cost. thats why ppl selling full set of window insulation for $1000+

hey! So nice of you to check in! Right now, the floor is finished and fan is installed, but that's it! We figured that was bare essentials for the first trip. Did a big drive up to Minnesota a few weeks back to do a canoeing trip in the Boundary waters. It was sooo amazing and I vlogged the whole thing! So the next videos you'll see will be that! Ben and I still work a lot so we're trying to slowly chip away at the build. Just want to make sure we're enjoying the process rather than stressing about it.
