Thermo mats any good????

[D&DCAMPA]

We brought a set off here a few weeks back from a bloke that had sold his van. used them the first time this weekend at the Southern Xmas party and they were brilliant! not only cos they kept the van warmer but it meant that the 'nosey neighbours' couldnt see through our curtains!!
(Thanks to Carl62 for the hint!)

Can someone tell me definitively which way round they are meant to go? I thought it was silver side out to reflect heat for coolness, while the the dull thermo side in retained heat. But reading this thread makes me think otherwise.
Sorry for the dumb question.

JK do some black metal grille that you put in the front windows, which let a bit of air circulate, with out being draughty. They cut down on the condensation problem. Usual soft metal JK standard, but they do the job ok

i bought some of these for our van ( alfie ) and they are good gear, can have windows open even when raining.
