Installing camper windows: What to consider

Installing windows in your camper is an important step. They provide light, ventilation, and a view, but also determine the comfort, insulation, and safety of your vehicle. The installation must be done precisely, once fitted, you don’t want to deal with leaks, cold drafts, or thermal bridging.

At Outbound, we supply camper windows built for long-term durability. In combination with the right mounting frames, adhesives, and sealing, you create a solid wall opening that lasts for years, resistant to vibrations, temperature changes, and moisture.

Why install windows in your camper?

Windows turn a closed van into a liveable space. They let in daylight, improve ventilation, and visually enlarge the interior. Windows also help reduce condensation, especially when used with roof vents or air grilles. Strategically placing your windows increases comfort:

  • Above the bed for fresh air
  • In the kitchen for ventilation while cooking
  • In the sliding door for a better view

What to consider when installing camper windows?

  • Type of window
    Choose the right type: fixed, hinged, or sliding. Hinged windows are popular for combining light and airflow.
  • Insulation and thermal bridging
    A thermally broken frame prevents heat or cold from transferring indoors. Our windows are designed without metal contact between inside and outside, helping prevent condensation and energy loss.
  • Bonding and sealing
    More often, windows are bonded instead of screwed in. High-quality polymer adhesives provide a strong, vibration-resistant bond. Always use the correct primer and follow drying times for secure adhesion.
  • Tinting and privacy
    Our windows use tinted, UV-resistant acrylic glass. This reduces visibility from outside and protects the interior from overheating and fading.
  • Insect screens and blackout options
    For maximum comfort, our windows can be combined with integrated screens and blackout systems, offering airflow without insects and privacy at night
  • Sizing and placement
    Carefully choose the size and position of each window. Consider the structure of the vehicle: like ribs, reinforcements, and wiring.
  • Mounting frames
    Always use a suitable frame. This reduces stress on the glass and ensures a watertight seal. Combine with the correct adhesive or sealing tape for a durable result.
  • Wall thickness
    Our windows and mounting systems fit a range of wall thicknesses. Even with thin panels, they ensure a stable, vibration-resistant fit.
  • Security and locking
    Outbound windows are lockable and fitted with secure closures, preventing forced access and keeping them safely shut while driving.
