Protect Your Appliances with an Offside Kitchen Privacy Screen

Most caravan setups focus on the awning side, but the offside of your van is where the hard work happens. A kitchen privacy screen is a specialized accessory that slides directly into the sail track above your kitchen window and fridge vents.

It provides a critical layer of protection for your caravan’s most important appliances while creating a private shaded area on the non-entry side of your van. Whether you are shielding your fridge from the afternoon sun or keeping your kitchen window open during a light breeze, these screens are essential for long-term touring comfort.

Benefits of Using an Outdoor Kitchen Privacy Screen at Camp 

Beyond appliance efficiency, these screens provide total window privacy with a 95% visual barrier, allowing you to keep your blinds up and windows open for airflow without feeling exposed to neighboring campsites. For vans with internal kitchens, the screen acts as a weather shield, serving as a windbreak that lets you cook with the window open for ventilation while preventing gusts from blowing out your gas stove or rain from entering the sink area. 

Ultimately, this promotes superior thermal regulation by shading the "sun-side" wall, preventing the van’s skin from soaking up heat and keeping the interior significantly cooler throughout the day.

Choosing the Right Kitchen Window Privacy Screen  

When selecting a CampSmart kitchen privacy screen, you are choosing a product designed for the rugged Australian climate. Our screens are crafted from durable, UV-stabilized mesh that remains easy to clean and mould-resistant.

For the touring caravanner, setup speed is a priority; our lightweight designs slide in effortlessly and fold down into a compact carry bag for stress-free storage. By investing in a CampSmart offside screen, you protect your expensive appliances and enjoy a cooler, more private interior wherever your travels take you.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

What size keder rope do these screens use?
Our kitchen screens use a standard 6mm keder rope, designed to fit most Australian caravan sail tracks.

Can I use this if I don't have an awning on that side?
Yes! These are designed specifically for the offside sail track, which is the aluminium rail mounted directly to the caravan wall. You do not need a roll-out awning to use this screen.

Will it block the airflow to my fridge?
No. We use a high-density, breathable mesh that blocks the sun’s heat while allowing hot air to escape from your fridge vents, preventing your appliances from overheating.

How do I secure the bottom of the screen?
Every CampSmart screen comes with reinforced stainless steel D-rings. Simply use the included bungee toggles or your preferred pegs to secure it to the ground.
