How to make DIY no sew insulated window covers for your van (less than $25) | Van Build Ep. 11

How to make affordable, no-sew window covers for privacy and to help protect your van from the hot sun or cold temperatures! I show how I made a set of 2 window coverings for less than $25 each. After researching what others did for DIY van window covers, I was inspired by another YouTuber, Erin Michelle, who created covers I really liked. I’ve followed her example but have made a few modifications. Like this video?

When using hot glue, use it sparingly then add more as needed. It’s easy to apply too much, which can leave a messy residue Start with approximately 4 magnets (medium to large size) evenly spaced along the edging and then add additional magnets as needed. 👉 ABOUT US: We're Steve and Audra, DIYers from South Florida who share a passion for cheap travel, nature, wildlife, and adventure!
