if you want super stealth build a bulk head with a door thats what i did.
i also have 100% blocking window covers color matched to the body.  they
are modeled after a panel that i took from an early westy.  the panel fits
behind the rear cabinet instead of the curtain that most have.  when its
all closed up it looks a bit like a work van only thieves bother work
vans :).
