Todd:

We made curtains for my '79 Westy. Got upholstery fabric from Jo-Ann fabric - a cool beige color with green palm trees on it. My wife sewed some muslin fabric in the middle as a sun block. We used a pattern that I found I think on the Samba. I do believe there is on for Vanagons, too. I didn't have to do the big front windshield blocker because we have one of Jonce Fancher's outside screen wraps. Very happy with the results.

There are tons of pics on the Samba for both Bays and Vanagons.
