I'm gonna follow my bliss* through continental Europe.
I don't know whether this will actually happen but I like the *idea* of being able to sleep in my car. I know that I'm meant to find places that will allow me to sleep but let's just say - hypothetically - for the sake of argument - by the by - that I do pull over and want some privacy.**
I've seen the TesMat privacy screen. and I feel like it's a pain to put up*** but more importantly I think having it up you may as well have a neon sign on your car saying "someone is sleeping in this car," or, if parked in a cul de sac somewhere on the outskirts of Bruges on a cloudy thursday night "someone is trying to get away with sleeping in this car"
I was thinking**** a better solution might be a cover. Like this one from tessories
The thing about this is that not only does it give the car a look of utter despair but it also seems to have a hole for the ventilation. *****
However when I made an enquiry
I was told
Which is not terribly helpful. So who knows. I mean. Are there are other intake places that I need for camp mode?
IDEALLY
What I *really* want is some sort of cover that has a gap/transparent portion for the sunroof.
@Medved_77 's mum actually fashioned privacy screens from lycra so I'm hoping I'll be able to convince her to make me one with the gap in it. Obviously this isn't a short term solution though given I'd need to spend years slowly to know @Medved_77 and then becoming a casual acquaintance mum of @Medved_77 and then - this is now six or seven years down the line - popping the question about the custom lycra sunroof. Also pretty weird thing to do if I'm honest.
So; what do I need to do to a cover to allow it to do camp mode; I saw a video of some guy showing how he does it and him actually getting into the car under the flap but I can't find it anymore.
Thanks everyone.

** Not a fantastic way of phrasing it tbh. I mean sleep. Nothing else.
*** I've watched people putting it up
**** thinking about these things is what gets me through the day. That and waiting for Aliexpress parcels from China.
***** "you can buy with confidence because it ships from Birmingham" what does this EVEN MEAN?
