We are currently taking bookings for May 2017 Recently we have had an issue with our contact forms. If you have submitted an enquiry or a request for samples in the last week, it will not have reached us. Please contact us again and we will get in touch with you. We apologise and thank you for your patience.The MAGNA-BLIND is a solution for your camper van. It is a versatile product that can be adapted to suit you. It is attached to your interior using powerful neodymium magnets -you do not need to fit curtain rails. It incorporates a thermal blackout lining -blocking out sunlight, keeping your van cool during the day and warmer during the night. It is available as a reversible option so you can choose two styles of fabric (one on each side of the blind) -you can change your blind to suit your mood! It is available in all of our fabric choices. It creates space in your van, claiming back the space that curtains need to hang in!It does not need to be removed when you open the sliding door!

You can use it when you are travelling as a sun blind -or to keep light out and the kids asleep! It can be used in conjunction with curtains or we can make a set of ‘dummy’ curtains to dress your camper van!Three Magna-Blind options are available. A full set of Magna-Blinds for each window including the cab area. Alternatively you may opt for a set of Magna-Blinds just for the rear of your camper van or just the cab. All blinds are supplied with powerful Neodymium magnets sewn in to the edging, enabling you to attach them to the metal frame around your windows.If you are unsure whether the magnets will adhere to padded metal surfaces then we can provide poppered fastenings instead.This is a project revisited…as they often are after realizing your first answer was a horrific failure. Our first attempt at curtains was created with the primary goal of being able to remove them when not needed so that E’s interior remained clean and modern (and to avoid drilling/screwing into the bus).

We sewed rare earth magnets into the corners of black fabric to hold the curtains up, and the effect was near blackout conditions inside the bus with complete privacy (tested and proven effective while stealth camping in parking lots last summer en route to portland.).

The problem was, that as soon as we removed the curtains they became a bundled mess of fabric and magnets that stuck to the side of the bus and took a scientist to dissect and reassemble into curtains.

We borrowed another sewing machine from one of Jen’s coworkers and went back to work… While we have never been fond of the hanging curtain look (at home or in campers), we decided to use curtain cord to allow easy opening/closing of the curtains and simply had to find a way to install the cord without screwing into the bus unless absolutely necessary.

The magnetic cord holders worked perfectly to attach the ends of the cord, and provide enough strength to still pull adequate tension on the cord. We ran the cord the entire length on each side, and used another cord holder in the middle with the cord running straight through the hole for a nice clean connection.

These also work great to hold the bottom of the curtains against the bus for maximum privacy when closed. Best things about the new setup is that if we know we arent camping for a while and want to remove the curtains all we have to do is unhook the cord or simply yank the magnets to remove the entire setup!Our website works with many different web browsers.
