Subject:Re: Window tinting

Tint rocks - and is a necessity down here.
1.  About $175 for a good job
2.  Not only when camping, but when driving, parking,
sitting in traffic, etc.
3.  Look for shops that offer a life-time guarantee -
it holds up great
4.  OH YEAH

When I got mine tinted, it was August.  The effect of
tint was immediately noticed.
WARNING  The only problem with a westy is tinting the
rear drivers side window.  I tried to pull out the
cabinet (to no avail) so the guy at the tint shop (who
had tinted 4 other cars for me) helped me pull the
window out so he could tint it.  If you live somewhere
the sun shines, it is well worth the $$$.

Good luck
Mark
