Just browsing the market for an upgrade from my 2001 caravan and ive come across a Lunar Delta, its a beautiful caravan but ime not sure about the darkened windows. I understand its to keep the sun rays from ruining the curtains and upholstery and keep the van cooler on hotter days but would it make the inside dull in the winter months, when daylight is limited. Apart from the window glass the van would be ideal.
Whats the opinion of others?
We had a Lunar with privacy glass and were fine with it. It was a bit dull in the winter but did not bother us unduly. Nice surprise when we went out and it wasn't as bad as we thought. Just remember that once the light is on, everyone can see in again!

We have a Delta with darkened windows and it is a real bonus as nosy people cannot see inside yet it is light on the dullest of days.
It comes over as the vanners are unapproachable and unsocial. Really don't like it.

Lots of manufacturers are doing dark windows now so you have no choice if it's the van you want,I have them in my van and I will talk to anyone that wants to have a conversation,I think that putting windbreaks all around the pitch is being more unapproachable and unsocial,(one or two is ok)I don't know whether or not to say good morning sometimes,as I have been totally ignored on many an occasion

Please explain why caravanners should not be entitled to their privacy. After all many motor cars like ours have privacy glass.
I am guessing we would really upset you as we have windbreaks up to keep the dogs contained and have privacy glass. We prefer to keep to ourselves although we will greet people and will on rare occasions socialise.

I have noticed that about the new vans, possibly why I still prefer the older vans, most likely I don't like it as I see vanning as a social thing and like to look in and wave. like yourself I find the whole windbreak thing stand offish a lot more, especially all the way around the outfit. Though will agree a few do it to keep their digs in check.
I didn't say that people shouldn't be entitled to their privacy,I like mine as much as anyone,I have privacy glass in both car and 'van,both manufacture fitted,and no,you wouldn't upset me,if you have dogs((I have 2))then I can understand the need,when I wrote about windbreaks all around the pitch,I meant all around,not from front to back of their van

What might you have in mind to 'approach' them with?
Most folk will say hello or pass the time of day. But, many can live without others poking their noses into their private space uninvited. Too many see the mere fact of being on a caravan site, as an open invite to anyone who cared to roll up.
You dont generally mosy up to people at tables, or lounging in hotels, for instance 'for a chat' - yet you are all staying there having a similar holiday.

Why would being in a field be any different?
Just a wave maybe even a nod of the head, not easy when you can sit and curtain twitch without being seen but don't want others to see you. I did not mean approach as in go up them, you can tell be folks demeanour if they are up for that or not. I find that folks on a non club site are a lot more friendlier.
btw, what I meant was the dark windows to me in MY Opinion tell me don't speak to those folks, which you have almost just clarified.
When I go on holiday which I see being away in the van as actually, I will speak to anyone and everyone that is of a mind. Shy bairns get nae sweeties.
