Installing camper windows: What to consider

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.

Practical and durable in use

Outbound windows are made for years of reliable use, even under harsh conditions. All materials are UV-resistant and easy to clean. With proper planning and sealing, your windows stay watertight, draft-free, and quiet, even in extreme environments.
