Good window shade options and weathertech

[the_welfare_wagon]

I’m looking for options for side window blockers or blinds for camping to keep light out of the car since I sleep in the back. Weathertech has a set (PN: TS1072K1) but I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with it? Rather not drop 150 bucks on something that doesn’t even include photos on their website. Are there any other small companies that make something like that or am I better off just making it myself or biting the bullet with weathertech

you could get some sleep masks, ( eye bra's) otherwise there was a guy who posted at the forum years ago how he made some window covers...but your prob looking at the same money to make as to buy

up here this time of year when I have 24 hours of sun...a friend suggested sleep masks. now in my 4th summer here....i cant imagine being without them..i can use them in my 4runner...a tent...my sons taco.( yes one fishing/camping trip we had to sleep in his reclined seats)..my sons camper on his f250 and my oldest sons deep sea charter boat...had to get over the fact of looking kind of weird
but I would see people wear them on red eye plane flights

I made some out of refletix type material sold at home depot/lowes/Amazon for my daily driver so I could nap at work on my lunch break. Blocks 95% of light and also helps keep the inside cooler in the summer.
Hardest part is making the patterns for each window but it wasn't too bad. Look on YouTube for auto window covers or camper window shades for videos.

Thanks for the recommendation, just grabbed one with the prime day deal lol.

When we rented an RV in Alaska a few summers ago we bought black out shades on Amazon that were folded black construction paper with self stick. Worked great, but we also had sleep masks just in case.

See normally that would work for me but it’s also to keep prying eyes out as well. On longer trips I’ll stop in a Walmart parking lot overnight to break up the drive time. My original thought was just reflective stuff that everyone else mentioned but I thought a velcro patch on my window would look kinda ugly. Looks like I’ll be going that route as I’d rather not spend 150 bucks
