Looks like the reflective insulation from EuroCampers would be for campers who want insulation of the window at night and reflective qualities during the day. Looks like top of the line. I use a cheap silver colored plastic shade for the windshield which also doubles as a tarp to lay down on when you need to get under the van just like you said. ----Milr

Not to take business away from anyone, but you can make reflective 
window shades from silver bubble wrap from Home Desperate for about 
$35. Use either suction cups or velcro dots on the windows to hold 
them in place. Anything reflective in the windows does make a big 
difference in temps and it also keep people from peeping into your van 
when parked. I've also used the bigger piece I've made for the 
windshield to lay on when the ground is wet and I need to crawl under 
the van...
