Internal or External Front Screen Cover - Insulated Or Not

[Base1388]

I got rainbow screens insulated, used for first time this weekend

Mint, well made fits perfect too

I have a Comfortz insulated, as already mentioned, essential if you want to avoid the condensation.

 

[Discobadger]

Thanks for all the replies. I'm gonna make some calls tomorrow to see what's available at short notice.

I take it these hook over the doors to stay in place?
if so, does it affect the door seal?

 

[Discobadger]

Phoned four manufacturers..Rainbow a couple in stock but not the colour or design I was after and currently have a 6 week lead time as moving premises. Vanshades no stock, comfortz couldn't get through but Minster can make them to order and be with me for the weekend and very reasonably priced!
Think I may go this route

@Nigel W sent me some pics today and have to say looks just the job
Have to admit when I spoke to Minster today they were extremely helpful.

I hadn't heard of Minster before - looks like a very good budget option. One thing to check is that they are specifically templated for a T6 as some of the earlier screens on offer were generic T5/T6 meaning that you ended up with poor fit and a gap above the wing mirrors rather than giving a snug fit around them (T6 wing mirrors lower)

Me neither until I joined the forum and did some digging around.
They also have an Ebay shop with Minster T5 Cover and Minster T6 Cover
They seem pretty snug to me and can do black or silver.

Yep, from those pictures it definitely looks like they are templated specifically for a T6 - go for it!!

I have a set and can confirm they are made to specifically fit a T6. I came across them as they made screens for my brothers Hymer and he was delighted with them, as am I.
The ones on the Ebay’s photo are the short version if you ask they will make a longer version which will go over the wipers and cover the scuttle.

Do you have a pic of the long version please?

This is the best I can find from my holiday pics - it also shows how you can open the front panel during the day to let some light in.

I've just had the same conversation with some of the same companies, 3 weeks Vanshades, 6 weeks Rainbow Screens, wish I had ordered at Busfest now! Rainbow Screens did have a plain dark green T6 one in stock but I think I want one with a logo on it, and I would like to avoid black or silver otherwise Minster looked a good option and rapid turn around.

 

[Discobadger]

I ended up ordering a black version with a couple of modifications. It’s a arriving tomorrow and will be used over Easter. Will update the thread with some pics.
On the Minster side, have to say they have been a pleasure to deal with. Extremely helpful in every aspect. They do manufacture thermal covers for other items, maybe they could do a coloured version?
May be worth a call.

So I eventually ordered from Rainbow Screens on the afternoon of the 4th April expecting to wait up to six weeks but look what arrived today!

@Discobadger - I’ve found Minster SUPER helpful too. Have you received yours now? Do you have pics? Did you go for the long version that @Nigel W mentioned?

Thinking about ordering the thermal minster screens - Polar Thermal Screen Cover - VW T6 | eBay

Seem like the best value for money - anyone had any issues?

Going away next weekend for a night so needs to be a quick delivery!

As said earlier in the thread absolutely superb but do consider the long version which I personally prefer.

Thinking about screens, does the colour matter? ie. a silver screen in theory should keep the van cooler in hot days and warmer in the night than a black screen. Think it makes much difference. Think I would prefer a black screen as more stealth but a silver if it is better heat wise.
