Italy Prep: Part 8. β˜€οΈπŸš #T6ItalyRoadTrip

Another attempt at keeping Jeff cool for Italy, and I’m pretty chuffed with this purchase. I’ve bought some internal cab window covers from a company called Debus.

The driver and passenger side doors have black magnetic blinds that snap on in seconds. They look dead good and keep the van looking a little bit stealthy. The windscreen cover uses rods to stay up, and while there is a tiny bit of light leak right at the top, it still does a massive job at blacking out the van and keeping the heat down. The best part? The full set was only 65 quid. Other brands wanted 100 quid per window! Normally I use an external wrap, but it gets wet and blows around in the wind. These internal ones are going to be my new go-to for the trip. When we pull up in France, we can just whip them out, bosh them on, and we can still open the doors properly.

Do you prefer internal or external window blinds? Let me know in the comments.

The plan of action today is to get the rock and roll bed out and remove the kitchen so I can get access to the electrics. The current electrical system is an absolute rat's nest of wires and I'm honestly scared every day that it's going to catch fire. I'm t...
