Depends on the grunt/poo ratio.

or how many personages you have contained?

also, do you reckon you could cover them in some funky fabric?

Maybe a CO2/methane alarm would be in order.... so window don't get blown out... then nothing would stick. :run

Like everything there are pros and cons
On the pro side the thermo mats keep the van nice and dark...longer lie ins and warmer in winter and cooler in the heat. Sometimes they do become unstuck during the night and its uasually the bit that lets the sun in at 6 on a summers morn and catches you right in the face as you open your eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For me the downside is putting the buggers up...pain in the a*** they are.
Curtains are so mach easier but then let more light in in the morn.
I use a combination of the two however....best of both worlds
