Details and specifications
Full description
The SHADE XL Window is the SHADE Top-hung window in large formats: same dark-tinted double glazing, same rounded corners, same ECE R43 approval. Its sizes are designed for motorhomes, caravans and truck campers, not for converted vans. Delivered complete: blackout blind, fly screen and aluminium mounting frame included.
Choosing the right size
The selector shows the interior dimension, i.e. the cut-out to make in the wall.
For a replacement, measure the existing cut-out in the wall, not the visible frame of the old window. Check that no reinforcement, cable or conduit crosses the location, and that no overhead cabinet, storage compartment or curtain obstructs the interior frame. If in doubt, send us a photo and we will confirm.
The outer frame extends 3 cm along each axis (overall dimensions: W + 3 cm × H + 3 cm). The opening is 50° for windows less than 50 cm high and 70° above that, with 3 positions and secure catches.
💡 Good to know: the interior finishing frame is surface-mounted on the wall. It covers the edges of the cut-out without requiring additional space.

Frequently asked questions
Q: Can I install it on a panel van conversion?
A: No, these formats exceed the size of panel van walls (approximately 1100 × 550 maximum on an L3H3 or L4H3). For a campervan, choose the SHADE Top-hung window, available in suitable sizes.
Q: Can I replace an original motorhome window?
A: Yes, this is the main use for the large formats. Measure the existing cut-out in the wall, then choose the corresponding size. If the cut-out is slightly smaller, it can be enlarged with a jigsaw; if it is larger, choose the next size up.
Q: Is it approved for road use?
A: Yes, ECE R43: installation is authorised without manufacturer approval in Europe, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Compliant with roadworthiness testing.

Reinforcements vary with year and model: mark the cut-out on your wall and check that no reinforcement, cable or duct crosses it. If in doubt, send us a photo.

Fácil instalación, cumple las expectativas.
Ottimi prodotti acquistate 4 finestre e 2 oblò tutte omologate e facili da installare anche per i principianti alle prime armi..Spedizione super veloce in 3 /4 giorni arrivate a casa. Unico problema riscontrato il reso per la sostituzione di una finestra da me sbagliata ad acquistare con un'altra un po' più grande il servizio un po' lento ma comunque risolto....grazie vanlife store
Der Artikel ist für mich zu klein. Ich benötige eine größere Größe 800 x800
Gute Qualität und Passgenauigkeit!
Einbau in Schiebetür von Renault master 3, H2.
Einbau mit Stichsäge und Holzinnenrahmen, Ecken abrunden, dann deckt der Innenrahmen besser!
Grüße Martin
La finestra é perfetta, fatta di un buon materiale e facile da installare. Sono fatti bene anche la zanzariera e la tendina. Il vetro oscurante é molto bello, si vede benissimo verso l’esterno ma dall’esterno non vedono dentro, e comunque la luminosità resta nel camper.
Die 3 gekauften Fenster sind qualitativ absolut hochwertig. Die Beschreibung entspricht exakt den gelieferten Produkten. Der Einbau ist nahezu selbsterklärend. Zum Dauerbetrieb kann ich noch nichts sagen. Der Kundendienst reagiert in kürzester Zeit in Landessprache auf gestellte Anfragen per Email. Alles gut. Sehr gerne kaufe ich da wieder.
Bon rapport qualité prix, le contre cadre n’a que l’utilité de soutenir le cadre occultant mais complique le montage (pré percer la baie avant montage) le cadre occultant est de couleur beige et de qualité inférieure au Carbest. Attention les modèle Shade ne sont pas galbées.
Qualité et montage top
Bonjour, je viens de terminer l'installation de mes ouvrants. La pause se fait plutôt bien, et le rendu est propre. La tôle du fourgon s'est déformée pour suivre le profil plat des fenêtres, mais cela ne choque pas.
