Fitted black out shades for Econolines?

I know it's fairly easy to find a custom fitted front window sun shade for the Econoline van but I want privacy/blackout shades for the driver's and passenger's side windows for my Pleasureway Traverse. I like to use the front passenger seat spun towards the rear but unless I'm in an official camping area, I want privacy.

I am having no luck finding something that fits on the inside other than making my own aluminum bubble wrap shades and shoving them in there. I'd like something a bit more elegant.

    mumkin, yes, like those! I'll contact them Tuesday.

    jjson, I think it did from the factory but it didn't get to me when I bought it used in 2007. I see velcro tabs on the headliner above the windshield. But, I have to say, PW's curtains SUCK!. I took them all off and had my wife sew in an insulating black out panel on the remaining window curtains. How these guys (PW and RT) put such poor window coverings on such expensive rigs when Sportsmobile uses fitted cellular shades on their rigs is beyond me.

    Our old PW Excel had a curtain in front that opened up and slid around to cover both the windshield and the side windows. So does our new Pursuit. I am surprised that the Traverse doesn't have this.
