Ordered my Vanshade at the NEC motorhome exhibition, it arrived as advised three weeks later. I fitted it in the back window to replace the curtain which was prone to getting mouldy due to using the van in very cold alpine conditions. Quick and easy to fit. What a difference ! The shade looks fantastic and really tidies up the van interior. Highly recommended.Andy Cullum

I messed up on the order and Vanshades let me return my window shades and remade them for me. Really pleased as I was expecting to have to fork out another £400, Ellie Howard looked after me over the phone so thanks for the help! Also they are great quality shades much better than curtains.

A stunning product from a company who really cares about what they do, are passionate about their products and always go the extra mile when supporting customers. We have had our vanshades installed for over 8 years now and our van has covered more than 130k miles and we have slept in the van over 900 nights and the vanshades still look and operate like new. They keep the van cool in the heat of the summer and warm when we have spent the winter in the Alps. Perfect blackout blinds for a good nights sleep.Little did we know 8 years ago when we invested in this new product at the time, that 8 years later we would still be proud to be associated with this company.100% recommend this company and their products.
