Topic: Another Door Window Install Posted: 15 May 2015 at 5:43pm |
Following the excellent write up From Huron Sailor and others, I did the Vintage Trailer door window install. I chose to take the door off. It's really not a difficult mod at all. Just like all mods that require drilling, sawing, electrical or mechanical...measure two or three times and save the beer for last!
If I had the time, I would probably paint the inside trim ring black, but we got reservations at Assateague Island and I hear the fish are biting and the bugs aren't so it will have to wait! My only regret is that this wasn't the first mod I did! fred

Primo! Looks mighty good. I may have to bump that up on the priority list. Did you use a fairly fine-toothed saw blade? I see you're protecting your hearing, too. Good call. Just had a hearing test earlier today. Results could have been better.

John,
Yeah, I think it was a 2.8 mm blade (Makita or Bosch). I got a drawer full. I just got these new 3M ear muffs to replace my old broken HD cheapies. They are great! Driving the Gravely brush hog all morning was a pleasure...on my ears. The rest of my body is a total wreck! fred

I don't see a hole drilled to start the cut. How did you do that?

I ordered a window today for our 179. Did you put any caulking around the opening before setting the window frame in place?

I was wondering the same thing. I am very interested in this mod, but absolutely need a blind for nighttime. I searched online and found a lot of RV blinds but none that seemed to fit this particular window size. Anyone added a blind?
