Window for a 2026 R-pod? 
Haven't cut any windows in yet, But I'm installing this 24" x 8" tilt out window into the rear wall of the pod, (180 dry bath) this weekend. Since there is no fan or window in the bathroom this will give us some light and venting. I'll let you know how it goes:) (a little nervous).....

I found that out the hard way, I measured twice and cut once, and made my cut from the inside. I used a thin blade on the corners, and it decided it wanted to go straight on the corners resulting in the outside opening being much larger than desired! A healthy bead of caulk was used and all is well, there are no leaks and the results are worth it. If I did it again, I would cut from the outside for a good seal.

Ours is also a 2016 RP179. I installed a window. You can see it in my mods (link in signature). I ordered it on Amazon. You would need to check for current price. The hardest part about it is getting up the nerve to cut into your door. Make a template and cut tight to it. If the opening is a little small, enlarge it a little at a time. It is better to cut small and adjust than to cut too big.

Has anyone installed a window in an R-pod 179 or other? I see that the newer models now have them, but our 2016 model does not.  Cost?
