That’s one of the most brilliant things I’ve ever seen! Wow. You guys could literally make a business out of creating those for other nomads. I need these 😩 I volunteer to be your first customer!
Definitely! I would be your second customer! No screens is probably the #1 reason I’m cautious about car camping! You are extremely talented! God bless you!
Now, that's how you make a video. Start with showing the end results first. Then explaining how it was made later. No annoying talking and talking at the beginning. That way people won't waste their time watching the entire video if at the end they decide that's not what they wanted. And no annoying music either. Thank you, thank you! Now, like everyone else here is saying, if you start selling these, I would definitely buy them from you guys. Never underestimate people like me who are too lazy, or have no patience to make stuff like this. You're going to make a ton of money!
We're glad you liked the video! Thanks for your support on making more window covers, though we won't be selling them anytime soon as they are quite a bit of work to make.
I've been researching ideas for my van-travel caravan custom window screen/fan system, and yours is the best. I used parchment paper and reflectix to slowly whittle down a pattern sheet so I can make a piece of plywood that fits the window perfectly. Your design will likely serve as the rest of my model. Thanks much !
The people commenting on this are 100% right....you could make a business with this diy innovation man....I've been contemplating how to do something like this for the sunroof of my car for some time now. Brilliant build!
This is genius! No need to cut a hole in the roof for a fantastic fan. ... AND it's also bug screen AND window shade ! When are you taking orders ? : D
You should patten those AMAZING windows covers! They're cooler than I could have ever imagined! And I've seen clever ones before! Brava!! and Well Done!
Nice work! This is probably the nicest one of these that I've seen since I started looking into making some window screens for my vehicle. And I love the idea about the usb powered fans since they should run for quite awhile on one of those power packs.
Nice execution! Some questions came to mind: I can imagine the canvas effectively blocking light but how much light leaks through the fan openings? Any issues with the screens tilting out of place as you drive? Are you satisfied with the quietness of the fans? Have you thought about adding deflectors to keep rain out? Overall, you've done a masterful job. It's a really well thought out design.
Thanks Bruce!! There is some light that comes through the fan so we made little canvas covers that go around those too. (Our shorter video shows them but we forgot to talk about them in the longer video.) We can put them up when we want privacy and take them down when the fans are on. We don’t drive with the screens in place - we put them up when we get to our camp spot and store them while we’re driving. They are pretty tensioned in so they don’t move while we’re parked. The fans are reasonably quiet. We’re happy with them. Funny you mention the deflectors! Through a series of Amazon delivery mishaps we ordered them a while ago but actually didn’t receive them until the other day. We’re looking forward to trying those out next time we go camping!
I have watched MANY videos on making screens, yours are by far the very best! Thanks for sharing!! I think I may use Roxul board instead of plywood just because I have lots of extra lying around..hopefullly it will hold up!
I've wondered for quite a while how effective computer case fans might be. A couple of questions...how long will the fans run for on the battery pack. And...how effective are the fans. I was thinking to use at least 2 in my own build. Your video is just what I've been looking for! Thanks!
We're really happy with them. The fans run for about 4 - 5 nights on the battery packs. Though if it's very hot out and no breeze, some bigger fans would be better. Let us know how your build goes!
Ya, im late to this party. I love this layout and will definitely be copying this design. Of course, modified for fit a subaru with no window frame... a bit of a challenge. Thank you for sharing.
Outstanding thank you!! I just built an AC for my car. I have the same or close to the same venting fan and have been wracking my brain on how to install it in a window! This will work perfectly!
Chris, you have a wide range of skills, to end up with such a polished and well thought out build. All the layout and woodworking, I can do, but the sewing amazes me. Did you stitch each one by hand, or is possible to use a machine?
Thank you! The canvas was mostly done with a sewing machine but we did the magnets by hand. You might be able to get away with a machine for those too, depending on your sewing machine and attachments. We wanted the magnets to stay in super tight, which is why we did them by hand.
@@ChrisAndEmilie I have never made friends with a sewing machine. I use 3m double sided VHB tape for all my fabric joining needs. I'd like to get adequate at hand sewing, just for situations like those magnets. Still, using two layers of 1" wide tape and trapping the magnets in between them...VHB tape is wonderful, and I suck at sewing. I live in an 04 sienna, just ordered some extra stretch, extra strength insect mesh yesterday to build screens with. Will cut it oversize, start with just twenty or more magnets and secure it to the steel on inside, the frame area that's accessible once the sliding door is released. If I have clearance for the thickness of the magnets, when door is closed, that will be first version.
Thanks! Weight is always a consideration for us too. In this case we needed something sturdy to support the weight of the fan that we wanted to setup by the window. In our latest video we built a clothing shelf from PVC which is super light.
Hi I have a couple questions. How far is the window down when you are running the fan? I assume far enough that the glass is below the case fan, correct? That being said what do you do to keep the rain out? Lastly I didnt see anyway to prevent someone or something from pushing this in and reaching in the vehicle. Sorry had to be asked, solo female camper and this would make me restless at night. Otherwise it's clever and well executed. Thanks for sharing
We vary the window height depending on the weather. We leave the windows open a few inches, but no necessarily lower than the lowest part of the fan if it’s cold or rainy out. We also use rain guards on the outside of the windows to keep the rain out. We lock our doors at night, but depending on how far down you open the window, it could be quite easy for someone to push in the frame. And even if it did lock into place, someone could simply tear the netting. There are security products with alarms and sensors that you might want to look into to help with that.
Thanks hats off brilliant just one thing could the passenger's side fans be put on the other side to avoid the issue with the little part of the window ? Hope I am talking nonsense . Thanks very much for the post . Will definitely watch your other posts
Thanks for watching! You can make your frame with the fan on the other side if you prefer. We placed ours on the far side so it wouldn't be directly over our face when we slept. We made it so that it's not sitting over the "little part" of the window though.
Ummm, impressive. Might have to steal this idea. Thanks for posting and sharing. I'm sure I'll be watching this vid over and over again to remember everything.
Not has stealth as I wish . So I’m working on the idea of diverting the fan of the heating-ventillation system from my vehicle. This involves by-passing its power through a switch upstream of the vehicle blower and powering the whole with a battery other than that of the vehicle .
That's genius! I've been trying to figure out how to get a screen, a curtain and a fan in a mini-van, and this is by far the best idea I've seen. Did yall base this on something else? If so, can you please tell me what? Thanks!
@Chris And Emilie yea, I'm definitely gonna copy it for my minivan build. The fan idea is frikin genius, and then the way you have them with their own battery packs in the door 👌
@@ChrisAndEmilie Hi again, I'm seriously getting ready to buy some fans online and get this project started. Do you have any recommendations for the fans? I don't know anything about these sort of fans. Thanks so much!

Awesome!! Would love to see what you end up doing.
Impressive! Now I want to make one...or 4 lol
haha! Thanks!
Just wanted to say excellent idea and video. Thank you so much for sharing this idea and the details. :-)
Thanks for your feedback!

And we're planning to do a more detailed video in the future too!
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
very neatly done. thank you
Well done. Looks great.
Thanks! They were fun to make!
How did you make it
Unfortunately we made these before we started making videos, but we did this quick follow up to kind of explain the process: ua-cam.com/video/K54nkTQ-zl8/v-deo.htmlsi=nS9Q9HFHxpet-Kht
Also, we have some details on our blog here: chrisandemilie.ca/windowscreen.html
How can I request to purchase 2.
Thank you :-) 👍
how thick was the plywood?
We used 1/2” plywood as we wanted a solid support for the fan. You might be able to get away with 1/4” though.
This is the best so far
Wow!!! That’s amazing!!! Well done!!!👠🚌👠
