sunroof sunblock???

Post by clarry69 »

Ive bought the reflective pads that go on the windows to insulate the van and keep out the light when camping, but, what do I do with the sunroof (tintop) as the sun blares through first thing in the morning?
Any ideas or tips gladly received.
Cheers all

We've got a cheap/thin doormat that we use in the awning, material with rubber back/border, and I throw it over the sunroof when we go to bed - heavy enough that it doesn't move, and if I remember to put it material side down, doesn't matter if it rains either. A bit bodgey I admit, but it works. I did ask the lady at SilverScreens if they'd ever think about making a small sun-roof cover, but she politely declined :)

I made my own using that reflective silver insulation you put behind radiators. Covered it with fabric matching my cushions and used velcro to fix it.

I use an off-cut of the 10mm closed cell insulation that I used to line the van. Cut to the shape of the sunroof, it just wedges in.
