The film bonds to the glass, holding the broken pieces in place, keeping you safe and speeding clean-up.
Safety – Window tint film will prevent the glass from shattering if you’re in an accident or if someone breaks out your window. Some films have UV protection equivalent to SPF 285, to keep you and your RV looking good.

Turns out UV light has a similar effect on RV interiors, dashboards and upholstery, causing them to fade, crack and warp in short order.

Window film can block up to 99 percent of harmful Ultraviolet (UV) rays, the nasty ingredient in sunlight that can cause skin cancer and cataracts and accelerate the wrinkles of age. Sun Damage Protection – This works two ways, protecting both you and your RV, Camper Trailer or 5th Wheel. Privacy – One of the top reasons to tint your windows is the increased privacy you’ll enjoy when passers-by can’t look in and see your RV or Camper interior, or if you’re “at home.” It’s a safety measure as well, preventing potential thieves from “shopping” your belongings, no matter where you park. In cold conditions, window film slows heat loss through the exposed glass, leading to savings on propane and/or electricity. RVers will see the result in better gas mileage since air conditioners eat up fuel at a fast rate. Insulation – Window tint film can block up to 70 percent of the infrared (solar) heat that comes through glass windows. What are the Benefits of RV or Camper Window Tinting? The lower the number, the less light gets through. For example, film with a VLT of 30 allows only 30 percent of the visible light through. The VLT number indicates the amount of light that the film allows through. Films are available in a number of different shades, including clear, and are rated by their Visible Light Transmission (VLT) factor. This film typically incorporates several layers, each of which provides different benefits, such as protection from UV rays, heat rejection, glare control, and privacy. Window Tinting Film – A thin polyester material is applied to the inside of windows. Colors range from grey, bronze, and green to a reflective mirror tint. Factory tinted windows are typically darker for windows in the rear of vehicles, in compliance with Federal laws. The main benefit achieved by factory tinted windows is privacy, as this tinted glass does not usually block UV radiation or provide insulation. Tinted windows are the result of two different processes.įactory Tint – Windows are tinted at the factory by an electrical process called “deep dipping” which applies a dark tint inside the glass. Here are some factors to consider when deciding whether to tint your windows, the different options available, and some mistakes to avoid. However, if your rig lacks them, or you’d like to improve insulation and safety, you can apply tinted film to your windows. Many, if not most, motorhomes and trailers now come standard with tinted glass windows already installed. Tinting your RV windows can offer a solution to these – and other – problems. You promise yourself, repeatedly, that you won’t drive west at sunset. Trips through the desert Southwest get put off until winter. The sun beats down, raising interior temperatures and stressing your on-board air conditioners.
RV living is the best life, in my opinion, but sometimes it seems like you’re living and traveling in a greenhouse. And, as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. Thanks for your support! If you make a purchase using our links in this article, we may make a commission.
