You mean like these?

Well worth it - one of the best things we're bought for the camper, and not just for winter. They keep the van cool in summer, too, and nice and dark on those bright festival mornings when your hangover wants a lie-in.

True...www.silverscreens.co.uk are very very good.

In fact I've got some silverscreens(somewhere!)that I might as well sell as they'll not get used again....by me anyway.

Do you get less condensation with the external screens than the internal ones?

I'd be worried the external ones would vanish during the night.

Especially at a festival
If it is not nailed down it would walk off.

We've had both and the internals are way more faff and condensation is an issue but they're also way cheaper.

Externals are neater and quicker, keep more light out, no condensation issues but cost £75.

We sold the internals.

Ian fairly sums up the merits, but if your wilding it then go with the internals,

I use the internal ones all round but the condensation is definitely a problem in the winter. Does anyone manufacture the wrap around type that cover the door windows as well and how do you fit the external types to a T25 High Top as there is no gutter rail over the front screen on my van? Would prefer some external ones.

£75 they hook over the top corner of the front doors and under the wipers and there's a loop either side to tie to the wing mirrors. The top folds down on velcro to allow for the different styles of aerials and to allow light in during the day.

Cheers for the link! Just one more question, there isn't one listed specifically for a T25 so which do you get?
