Product Information

Full details

The Maypole External Blackout Screen is an essential accessory for Ford Transit Custom owners who frequently use their vehicle for camping or overnight stays. This 3-piece set offers a thermal barrier to keep the cabin comfortable in any season while providing total privacy for the occupants. While it excels at temperature regulation and light blocking, the primary caveat is that it requires exterior installation, meaning you must step outside your vehicle to fit or remove it.

FAQs

Is this screen compatible with all Ford Transit Custom models?

This screen is designed specifically for the Ford Transit Custom, but compatibility may vary depending on the exact generation or roof modifications.

Can I leave the screen on while driving?

No, the screen must be fully removed before operating the vehicle to ensure safe visibility.

Will the screen scratch my paintwork?

The material is designed to be gentle, but ensure your vehicle is clean before installation to prevent trapped grit from causing surface scratches.

How do I store the screen when it's wet?

If you must take it down while wet, store it in a waterproof bag or place it in the rear of the van until you can lay it out to dry completely.

Does it provide total blackout?

Yes, the 4-layer thermal construction is designed to provide 100% blackout for privacy.

Can the front section be dropped while the side screens are attached?

Yes, the front windscreen cover is independent of the two side door covers, allowing you to drop it down as needed.

Troubleshooting

The screen does not sit flush against the windscreen.

Ensure the elasticated straps are correctly hooked around the door pillars and pull the screen tight from the center before securing the sides.

Velcro panels feel loose or do not hold securely.

Check the velcro for trapped debris, lint, or dirt, and clear it out using a stiff brush to ensure a strong grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides 100% total blackout for maximum sleeping privacy
  • Effective thermal insulation keeps interior temperatures regulated
  • Easy to wipe clean after exposure to outdoor elements
  • Allows door access via velcro sections without removing the cover
  • Front panel can drop down for quick ventilation or natural light

Cons

  • Requires exiting the vehicle to install or remove
  • External fitment can be challenging in heavy rain or high wind
  • Must be stored carefully to avoid scratching the vehicle paintwork with debris
  • Occupies storage space when not in use compared to internal blinds

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This screen is specifically tailored to fit the Ford Transit Custom. To install, ensure the windows are clean to prevent dust from creating friction against the glass. Place the side screens against the door frames, secure the elasticated straps, and close the doors to lock them into position. Finally, apply the windscreen cover and adjust the velcro for a taut fit.

For care and maintenance, it is recommended to shake off loose dirt and moisture before folding the screen for storage. If the material becomes soiled, wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always ensure the screens are completely dry before rolling them up for long-term storage to prevent mold or mildew growth.
