It all depends.  I'm making panels right now that will hind anything in
the van. But you also need to tint your windows and make sure there is
more light on the outside than on the inside. The real problem is
where the light is.  I'm having a special clip make that a panel can be
attatch to any of the windows.  Night panels have to be totally blacked
out. where as a day panel needs to be translusive.
    This is all part of my special EMZ Vanagon Camper series....
Detail as time will allow....
