Question about window tinting

As far as I know, chrome tanker trucks aren’t outlawed nor is the sun. FWIW, I want to just do the sides of the trailer because it is the largest surface area that the sun hits in the campground.

a friend at work brought his van in from New Jersey and he had the reflective mirror coating on windows behind b pillar. the MD DOT rejected it so he got some white paint and painted over the windows and then it passed the test.

If your RV has dual pane windows you should not use film with higher than 50% heat absorption rate.

Not that it may ever come up but window tint is an ‘equipment regulation’ and is not covered by reciprocity.

A friend found this out when he was parked in a plaza parking lot and a local LEO stopped by (looking for a different, stolen) Class C similar to his.

The law was explained to him and he was given only a warning, but was also told the next time might be different.

Super Dave. did you read my post about turning into the setting sun.

I've had sunlight reflect off vehicles and cause me to have to use skills to see. I'm generally aware of my surrounds so it did not cause a problem but it could have.. Like in the Sunset story above... I was aware so prepared.. Wife was not.. I kind of feel sorry for other drivers who were not.

Surprised that there hasn’t been anyone with actual experience on the subject.

Well as I said laws covering the DARKNESS of the tint gernrslly only before the "B" pillar. since the trailer is several FEET behind the B pillar. they do not apply.

However reflective tint can cause an episode of CHiPS
in this episode a truck transporting a Mirror crossed a bridge at just the right time to reflect the sun into someone's eyes and caused a serious accident.. The reconstruction team figured it out. .

I can see it happening... True story
I was headed from N.W. Detroit to a Campground in Jackson County MI.. As I approached the west end M-14 where it dumped onto I-94 west there is a Radio tower south of the Freeway. It appeared to be on fire.. I though what the Q)#E$. then OH! and grabbed a pair of polaroid clip on sun glasses and put them on OVER my photo gray X (Already at max dark) Glasses.

As I turned into the setting sun my wife cried out in pain (I was prepared so no problem)

That's can also happen from the reflection off a reflective tint.

I did not know he had a TT. Obviously tint laws would not apply to it, but I bet they do to MHs.

OPs Profile shows a pickup truck and 5th wheel trailer and this IS a RV forum. So it sort of made sense to me that he was at a min talking about having his trailer windows tinted as that has been a popular mod over the yrs with RVs to cut down on heat gain..

But it is anyone's guess as to the OPs intention but I highly doubt the OP is going to cause an accident or get pulled over for having dark tinted or even mirrored windows on the 5th..
