  • #vanlifeuk #campervan #vw A T6 campervan conversion - part7 in the series, how to fit blackout blinds from van-x are they the best? Double skin stretch fabric stops the light for a nice sleep-in and no one can see inside! This is how I fitted them, easy if you have the correct tools!
    Dont forget to see the other videos in the series... subscribe and a nice thumbs up please :-)

    Ha ha - I dont think anyone would have noticed the pits if you hadn't pointed it out. Great helpful video mate, especially if mine arrive today with no instructions. 👍

      I’ve got a mix of a few videos coming up... the weather in the uk is not playing ball right now, rain is not conducive to outside work. It’s been raining for a week, and we expect more... should have made a boatload! I do have a few videos ready to roll. :)

    Nice blinds, can't believe how much you've modded so far. When you're done you should go back to the dealer and speak to that salesman again and see what he has to say :)
