Since 2010, Mark1 Conversions have been involved with numerous van window installations, and we’ve had our fair share of experience with different window types that customers have asked for, or we’ve recommended, over the years. We’ve fitted windows for probably most, if not all, of the campervans you could think of (VW T4, VW T5, VW T6, Crafter, Sprinter, Boxer, Vivaro), so we wanted to retrospectively look back at our thoughts on campervan windows, your options, and give you an insight into how our expert team at Mark1 Conversions would go about installing a window into your campervan of choice.

Adding windows to your van is an important stage of any camper conversion, whether you’re converting a panel van into a weekend camper, or aiming for a full-time camper for big adventures, we can help install windows into your van to create a bright, comfortable living area.

Professional van window installation ensures your van is secure, watertight and perfectly aligned with your van’s body panels. At Mark1 we ensure a confident, lifetime fit - no leaks, no wind noise and no structural issues. That’s why many of our customers choose us rather than attempting the job themselves.

Types of Campervan Windows for Van Conversions

If you’re searching the web for campervan windows, you’ll see several types commonly used in campervan conversions. The right option often depends on your van model, layout and how you plan to use the vehicle, so it’s an important step. We would also recommend a chat with our team, as we have the experience of what to do, and more importantly, what not to do when taking this big step in your conversion.

Bonded Campervan Windows

Bonded windows are the most popular option for modern campervan conversions, glued directly onto the outside of your van using a specialist adhesive. Sounds easy, doesn’t it! However there are a number of areas to go wrong when installing a bonded window.

At Mark1 Conversions, we can guarantee:

• Sleek factory-like finish
• Strong watertight seal
• No leaks, no excessive wind-noise
• Installed by experienced van converters for a life-time fit

If you are looking for a van window installer for your campervan conversion, we can provide sound advice on bonded windows for all makes and models of vans, including VW T5/T6/T7, Vauxhall Vivaro, Peugeot Boxers and many more.

Sliding Campervan Windows

Sliding windows provide excellent ventilation while parked or sleeping, with a movable glass panel built into the bonded window. A smart choice to upgrade panel vans - perfect for pairing next to kitchen areas and a must when using the van all summer long.

We offer a professional van window installation service, including advice on product choices, supply and full fitting to your campervan. We’re based in Devon, however welcome customers from across the UK and surrounding counties.

Top-Hinged or Awning Windows

Hinged or ‘Awning’ van windows are becoming a popular choice for larger campervan projects. They create an excellent airflow when required, whilst keeping the elements at bay while open. We tend to specify and install van windows from Dometic who offer a high quality range with powder-coated aluminium frames and options for tinted acrylic windows.

Professional Van Window Fitting vs DIY Installation

The big question for many, do you tackle fitting a van window yourself? Or ask the professionals to take over?

DIY installation can look tempting, however there are a number of pitfalls we wouldn’t want our customers to face. It really comes down to experience and confidence in the finished product.

Our team at Mark1 Conversions have installed hundreds (if not thousands) of windows into campervans and can guarantee a clean factory finish, with a solid watertight seal that will last you for the lifetime of your van. We can also complete window installations quicker - being tooled-up for the job at hand without any nasty surprises.
