Window covers for sleeping in bronco. I searched the forums and didn’t find anything. What are you using to cover the windows when camping out in your bronco?

Not something I’ve personally done, but I’ve seen people use heavy duty landscape fabric. Don’t think it’ll give you 100% blackout but will block a fair bit of light. You could always double it up to block more light.

I didn't use anything. I just let the sun wake me up.

Construction-grade garbage bags? Those things are super thick.

I remember watching some review videos for weather tech sun shade kits for the full cab and those things seemed to get it pretty damn dark inside. I noticed they don't offer it for the bronco, may be due to the frameless windows. It would make installing them difficult unless you were on the inside of the vehicle.

I just use the eye mask that came in my Delta One amenity kit. Gotta make up for the cost of that flight somehow.

WOW!!!! Thank you!

I searched and searched and didn't find a thing like this. Thanks!
Those are just like the weathertech shades. That kit should work out good for you.

In my Excursion I have cardboard cutouts I use. Since I'm in AK it's sunny all night long they are a must have. At my work we get lots of large boxes in so it was easy. I use a blackout curtain in the front.

Nice and cozy! What about condensation and fresh air?

Our climate, even in summer would be considered "cold" by most of the lower 48 states standards.

It typically doesn't get hot enough here to need air flow. Normally it's getting cold that's the issue. I have an electric space heater I'll use with a small generator and I'll start the truck As needed for short periods.
Condensation is a thing, but a couple mins with the defroster on works fine.
