    Greetings from Poland.
    What a great idea. I remember your complaint about the build-up of ice on the inside of the van windscreen. I hope these screens stop this happening and prevent loss of heat during the evening and night. See you again soon

      They certainly help with the frost and when we use them we don't get any frost or condensation at all, and they look quite funky.

    Wow! I'm glad you got out of lockdown. Here in Los Angeles, we are still suffering through it on September 2nd! Being an "online teacher" is no fun at all! Although looking at all those extra screens, I must say I've found a renewed appreciation for our warm weather and modest rainfall!

    We are thinking of adding these screens now it's getting colder - as we have exactly the same van (except our is orange), could we use your measurements? We'renot technical and are bound to get it expensively wrong! We'll mention your channel when ordering of course.

      It was Darren we dealt with and thats also him in the video and he knows about the video. I'm sure they will have our measurement details still in their file. You can refer them to our order it was in the name of Mrs Hart from Livingston. But any problems come back to me.

    The Rainbow screens look great and give some insulation. Do you get enough ventilation ?

      Yes, they really don't impact the ventilation and they make it nice and cozy inside.

    Do you have any insulation for the rear windows? Does the warmth not just disappear out of those windows if not?
    I appreciate any insulation is better than no insulation.

      Hi Andrew, no we don't, never really thought about it, we dont notice any cold coming from the windows, the curtains are double lines so that must help a bit.

      We are using a combo of both. Feel that we owe it to the businesses to use their facilities if they are available to help get the economy back on track, but more than happy to stay off grid if this is not available. We’ve booked about 4 campsites around the route (East to West in about 9-10 days).

    Hi great video, only 8 weeks now until we pick up our lunar Lenin’s. I know this is a bit cheeky but can you share the measurements that you gave Rainbow Screens for the Pop Top screen? thanks, Sean

    • @MikeandTriciaOotnAboot
      @MikeandTriciaOotnAboot  3 роки тому +1

      Hi Sean, sorry can't find them but probably for the best as we did pass them on before and the pop top size was different even though some van, it was a different make or model of poptop so best if you take the measurements or get them from Lunar?
      Rainbow Screens should be OK with the windows, its the pop top you need to be more careful with. Measure at least twice to be sure.

    Brilliant video, I have been deciding whether to get the screens as they are quite a bit of money, but they look very well made and should last a long time. Do you find the covers keep it nice and cool inside when it's very hot outside?

      Hi John, the window screen shouldn't be a problem, but the pop top screen would be difficult with one person, not impossible, but I would say just go with the windows screen and if its cold at night you can always bring the pop top down. Best regards. Mike & Trish.
