Our camping companions–three little white fluffy dogs–like to keep an ‘eye’ on what is happening around the camper and campground, especially at night. They peek their heads out in- between the window coverings at every little sound…and even sometimes just to ‘check out’ the place. One little guy in particular (Deuce Boy) has self appointed himself as the ‘night watch’ and alerts us to every little noise.

The ’61 Westy has the stock curtains for the back windows, barely closing but adequate.  The front seat area doesn’t have window covers and we adapt various items, like pillow cases closed in the door! And the sling for the front seat ‘youth bed’ acts as a window cover for the windshield, but none of these keep the ‘Guard Dog’ from warning us of sights and sounds that come into his awareness during the night. So — we were analyzing the window cover situation during the Yuma camping trip and wondered if some sort of ‘black-out’ window treatment could be made to attach around the windshield and doors.

Have ‘EYES’ will Travel….

With this window treatment in mind, imagine our excitement when that vary window cover appeared at Buses By the Bridge in January!  As we walked around the campground, we saw various ‘Eyes’ looking at us and very efficiently covering the front and side windows of the cabs — precisely what we had designed! And with the creative genius of playful ‘Eyes’ adding decoration and personality to the buses!

We tracked down the creator,who to our good fortune was also camping at BBB IV and immediately ordered our own customized version.

The window covers are available plain, but why not have that cute personality added to your bus or camper?

Our ‘EYES’ were delivered via friendly couriers to the Phoenix Bug-In.  where the ’63 Double Door got to ‘wear’ them first and then again showing them off at the Lake Havasu City’s ‘Thursday Night on Main’ where it was fun to see and hear the reactions.
Funny thing – the young people recognized the resemblance and some of the ‘elders’ appreciated the ‘look’ but didn’t have a clue who Filmore is!
