Hi Ric and Others wanting to Winter Camp
Ive got a New Exterior Front Thermal window cover to let you keep the full interior space and keep the Heat in and the cold out. Also works in reverse to
keep the heat out and cool in. Im making them for all VW Busses and Vans from 1956-2003. Spinter is also Done But were talking VW here.
Ive got the prototype on the Board and as soon as I get it done I will post it to the list. Ive also got an idea for the complete poptop Boot to cover the fiber
glass top and canvas to keep the top from loosing all the heat. (little farther out on that one).
The Front attaches like my Sun Shades and Sun Blocks with and without Screens.

click on the VW Stuff Section!!
I Should have a Working Unit By the end of this week. I will give a link once done.
Thanks for the shameless plug!
