Block off cab-over window?

Hi,

My first class C had the front window painted over from the outside with silver colored paint.

We have ours blocked off with reflective and insulated silver colored material that stays in place held between the curtain and the glass.

However, I've for years thought about and wanted to completely eliminate this window in our rig without having to completely replace the front overhead area. I've found no commercial company that has a solution for eliminating this window and filling in it's opening in a Class C. This window poses a far more serious water leakage problem than heat gain problem, IMHO.

The bubble/foil (Reflectix) will work. Cut it oversize to the size of the metal frame and use 1" pieces of velcro to adhere it to that frame in as many places as you think will work, maybe 1 in each corner and an extra top and bottom along the long edge.

I take your term of "solar" is both a light source and heat?

Many don't like the front window and many like it. Wife loves to gaze out at night and look at the stars. We have had trouble with ours leaking in the past. Now fixed after many head aches. And newer stuff most don't even have front window.

Anyways for "light" source have you checked into curtains? When our curtains are pulled hardly any light or "solar" light shines thru. We ended up with some pretty heavy curtain. Material is (what lady said at craft store) is theater drape material.

On the "solar" heat source point of view, I cut out a piece of cardboard and glued the air bubble stuff to the cardboard cutout so it is portable and use it when you want to. Lasted 3 or 4 years now, maybe time for new one? But you get idea.
