    None so far :)
    Finishing up my 2013 Taco overland build and did a test night in the bed. It's super comfortable with a 6" memory foam mattress on top of my bed organizer, but I realized I needed to do something to cover the windows.

    My test night was out on the street in front of my house and a significant amount of light came through. But, also it was a cold night and the heat loss through the windows was unacceptable to me. I could just get a better bag or more covers, but what I really want to do is cover the windows.

    The #vanlife world does some super creative things to cover windows and I wanted to see if anyone here had done something with their topper to cover their windows. I have a sewing machine and so I was thinking of getting some nice thick black cloth and using magnets attaching one of them to the shell and sewing the other into the cloth.

    Thoughts?

    As many as I can fabricate
    I would have done the same thing, except drive to the back yard like the old days when I was a kid. Congrats man, outstanding achievement.
    I'd do 2 rods, top and bottom and get the girlfriend, wife, better half, stripper with skills sew up some denim curtains with loops top and bottom. Very cheap and easy.
