Window Tint

Being that I'll be overnight fishing and sleeping in the van thinking of having the side and rear windows Limo tinted 5% over the existing OEM tint.

Anyone else had their windows tinted?

Tint is okay in the daytime but when you're in there with a flash light at night everybody can see you. But maybe you're out in the boonies.

I lived in my minivan last year while traveling for work and meticulously blacked out the windows so I could stealth camp. I covered each window in brown wrapping paper and with a spot light inside I traced the window outline with a sharpie. Then using the templates I cut reflectix insulation in the shape of the window and backed both sides with black table cloth cloth because it was cheaper than buying actual cloth. The pieces were all easily removable and when installed blocked all light.

It was like a cave in the daytime. I had a double curtain hung from the B pillars so the front looked like a normal vehicle from the outside. I slept at walmarts, planet fitnesses, menards, ect. Nobody had a clue I was in there.
