Our Testimonials
Vanlife Approved
100% Recommend!
These VanEssential window covers have been an absolute game changer for us. We debated on DIYing our own covers, but when we saw the quality of these we were SOLD. The magnets are really strong and the material is thick and heavy duty. We can tell a drastic difference in temperature control abilities in the van while using these.
Excellent!
Shipping was shockingly fast. The cover is perfect being able to adjust to one or two lower panes being exposed or the entire window exposed without having to remove the shade. We Love it.
Best decision I made while building my van.
These L tracks provide so much utility to my van. You will never anticipate the different places you want to mount/store/hang something and running 12ft of these tracks on both sides of the van solved that for me. All of their other products integrate seamlessly with the tracks and have helped make my van a home.
Very high quality and perfect fit.
I don't do reviews, but I'll make an exception for high quality, good value items; these meet that criteria. I have the cab set, the rear door set and the passenger side sliding door piece. They are truly impressive
Phenomenal!
I really appreciated the quality of materials and the sturdiness. As well as how snug each window piece fit it, looking really sharp and professional. I have put a lot of work into our van and I wanted something that would add to that quality and Vanessential definitely did that.
Highly recommended!
Best-fitting & most heat-reflecting setup I've found. Shopped for a long time before finding window covers that are NOT black towards the outside. Black absorbs heat and transfers it to the inside, not with these reflective puppies. The temperature difference is impressive. Tight fit, full coverage, nice storage bags. 100% awesome!
Top notch!
Perfect fit, so quick and easy to put up when arriving at the destination. A great upgrade over our previous non reflective covers we had in our previous RV.
Excellent! Absolutely LOVE!
The window covers are amazing and fit beautifully! The rear door storage has freed up so much valuable space!!! Easy installation and excellent quality materials!!
Perfect product. Perfect purchase ! Awesome.
I bought these for my new 2026 Thor motor coach Geneva, 24VH and it was an easy purchase a quick delivery well-made, awesome, could not be any easier to install and use, perfect purchase.
Highly recommended!
Fit the windows in my Transit Trail perfectly. Design is great! Store nicely in included bags or partially folded up with magnets holding securely in place. Very satisfied with this product.
Essential!
Same as above. I won't travel without these on my windows now. The magnets are so strong, they fasten THROUGH the plastic window covering to the metal underneath! Love them and love this company's responsiveness to my special needs when ordering. Small company, huge heart.
