Our Westfalia had the windows tinted by the po, and despite being a bit too
dark for me in terms of gazing about, I like them for another reason.  On a
recent outing my 3 year old slept until 8:30 am -- this a kid who gets up
every day at 6:30 am.  Paranoid parent, I even snuck back in once to make
sure she was breathing, and thus comforted went back to sipping coffee in
the quiet morning air.  Anyway, my point is that with the tinting and the
curtains drawn, the lower bed area is as dark as a tomb.  Very nice.  I
slept in the lower bunk with the top down the night before and it really was
like being in a root cellar, except it didn't smell, wasn't damp, and was
very comfortable.  I agree with Karl though, I don't put much merit in the
cooling effects of the tinting.  I think the dark tint soaks up/retains as
much heat as would be transmitted through un-tinted windows.
