How To Tint Windows | Ford Transit Camper Window Tinting Guide [20% VLT Window Film] | 003

In this transit camper van project episode, I tint the rear windows of my Transit Minibus.

Here's what I used in this video:

I was worried that privacy may be an issue in our Transit camper van, especially when you may be parking in more public areas.

We are going to fit blinds or some sort of window coverings to block out light at night but thought that we would like to be able to sit in the camper without feeling like you are in a goldfish bowl.

Researching tints for the windows, I was worried about the interior being too dark. We want to visit some beautiful places and look out without feeling like we were wearing sunglasses all the time.

However, the wisdom seems to be that even dark tints don’t do that when you’re inside and acclimated to it, but they do stop people looking in unless you’ve got a light on inside and it's dark out.

We have had the experience of applying window tints before, and are dab hands at using the soapy water to make the film easy to move, then squeegee the water out.

I chose a middle ground 20% VLT (visual light transmission) window tint, this seems dark enough for privacy but not too dark. Bear in mind, some would refer to this as 80% tinted windows.

Not all of the windows were easy to do, and I did end up with a few blemishes here and there. But overall it has worked out very well, we’ll have to see how it is when we start using the van, but at the moment it definitely seems bright enough inside.
