Car sunroof on a camper

Anyone considered using that on a camper?
Camper windows are harder to find and more expensive.

I've never known a sun roof that has been fitted to a car other than a factory fitted one.......................... NOT to leak.
The money you spend on a proper roof vent will far outweigh the hassle you have with a leaky sun roof.
OK just realised you want to use them as windows. It just depends on the vehicle condition. If your not too bothered about it's aesthetic looks, maybe try them, but if it's a relatively nice van, through not doing a nice job, you could devalue it unless you do it "pukka".
Bonded privacy glass is not hellishly expensive, if you do them yourself you can save £150.00 (well I did by doing it myself).

I was not thinking about using them for windows. English is not my mother tongue. :(

Anyway, thanks! Sounds reasonable. I'll pass.

wEIGHT AND CURVATURES WOULD BE A PROBLEM ON A LOT OF CAMPERS, I WOULD GO WITH THE FLOW AND GET a caravan type they are not to expensive, lightweight and simple to fit @ £40+.
