Oh I’m very familiar with the little buggers. But you are right it’s doesn’t stop them. The main problem being if there maxxfan is on high it’s sucks them in!
Your Videos are really well done, very useful thanks. With the rear sliding window, was there a panel brace you had to remove internally to get a smooth surface? is this just siliconed on to the panel? I'm trying to picture it. Thanks.
Thank you very much. Yes there was a piece of metal it’s a bit of a support bar, it’s actually not structural at all it’s just glued to the panel to stop the vibration, easily cut off and removed
Did you have to remove the wooden insert you had in, before having the small side window fitted ? Did you have to cut a hole in it for the window ? How did you finish the insert to the window ?
Hi these are not isolated windows right, how are you experiencing that, have a lot of condensation? Also would you ever consider non tinted windows? thanks!
Condensation, I almost never find an issue with even on the window and that’s even with two winters living in the Arctic. But I always make sure my vehicle has great airflow. I always keep the max fan on 10% extract, and there are small openings at the bottom as all my cabinets, allowing air to always be drawn through the vehicle. If there wasn’t airflow, then I would imagine condensation would be a problem. Personally, I prefer tinted windows for the back of the vehicle for privacy reasons
In total £725 for the windows and them to be fitted , if I was to do it myself and buy the windows online would of cost me around £450 in total and then £20-£30 per window for the bonding agent and trim.
I too would have probably happily paid someone to put one bonded window on the side door but with the DVLA rules being what they are now & needing two windows on one side, when I finally find my van, to save money I suppose I'll have to give it a go myself.
I can understand also wanting to do it yourself. Looking at the cost for me to buy all the Windows separately, plus all the bonding kit and doing it myself. It didn’t work out much more expensive getting it done for me. As for the DVLA rules. I’m personally not bothered by having the classification changed from a light goods vehicle / van to a camper van. It’s made for me no difference on my last van which I converted and had for 6 years and it’s also not a requirement for my Insurance.
@@MispronouncedAdventures Never really thought about not having the classification changed, I sorta just assumed it was the thing to do. It could make the build a bit cheaper not having the awning bar, second window and silly graphics. I'll have to look into it.
The company I used to fit them use the website ( bottom of comment ) below as the supplier they have multiple different vent window options in a few different sizes and you can even find a photo of my van on that website if you look hard enough leisurevehiclewindows.co.uk
Indeed 1016mm x 381mm. Turns out on that link one of the photos for the largest model window is my van leisurevehiclewindows.co.uk/vented-camper-van-bunk-windows/
That mesh will never stop Scottish midges, those buggers wear pit boots and carry flick knives, one mugged me on princes street!

Guys, thank you for this video. It made installing mine so easy today. This is the best video on the internet for Transit windows. Thanks from Texas.
Thank you, glad it was helpful. I hadn’t seen many videos of a transit getting converted which is why I made the whole series in general!
Looking great Alex. atb
Thank you
Ha ha, midge proofing the windows is the #1 important thing. :)
As a Scot I’d say yes!
The small window!
Now a medium sized window
We did the same, taking no risk fitting the window ourselfs haha
I was happy to cut the roof vent myself but windows from these guys came with a guarantee! Plus a very affordable price as well.
@@MispronouncedAdventures great idea, yeahh the roof vent i felt happy doing aswell!
Oh i really like the side windows!! We installed our windows and im now a little worried that we didn't install any that open!

Windows was done before the insert, I then cuts I hole in the insert and framed it
Hi Alex, the back windows are glass windows or plexiglass windows? Thanks
Glass all round.
