I picked no windows but on my standard CF i'm thinking of putting the side door window back in, backing out of places can be real and go.

G'day

No windows is definitely the go.
Reversing cameras are cheap.
Saw a MB Vito van with 3 cameras and a switch.
He could see out the back and either side.

My favourite configuration might not be the most popular (yet) but at least more people are voting for SWB's than LWB's.

Has anyone tried those new stickers for windows that company's are getting advertising printed on.
We just had an office door done at one of our work offices and they can be printed in loads of colours to match the duco.

cant see in but can see out and could get something printed on the side if you were arty enough, (perhaps more daisies for my van in a lime green to match the van might be tasteful)

Dont know how much it costs but could look just they use a different accounting system so I havent got around to it.

I have the rear windows in the standard cf but backing out of drives and stuff you can't see whats coming down the road on passenger side

I rekon Busy i right on..It's hard to see oncoming traffic from the passenger side and sometimes when it's really rainy or dark out, it's hard to have to rely on your mirrors to see if there is anything coming up the side of your beddy. Those sticker things would be great tho, anyone know where you can get themr? I was also thinking of trying this.

I will ask where we got the window stickers at work and what they cost.  We had standard office building doors done in several colours. You can see out from receiption but not in from outside unless you stand up really close.  They kept getting burglaries and thought it would save people seeing the computer on the reception desk.
Illtry and remember on Monday.  Apparently you just get the graphics done up at a graphics shop and they print them on to a sticker film, we already had the graphics which were electronic photographs and logos and they used those.

when i was a young whipper snapper i used to terroriise my neighbourhood in a windowless HR panelvan i solved the left hand blind spot by fitting a second rearview mirror to the left of the middle one and set it up to see out the passenger window it worked great and cost bugger all  ;D       cheers Neil
