I installed a porthole window in my Pod Door.  Make sure that you order a window of the correct thickness.  The Pod door consists of two thin aluminum sheets with a couple of inches of 'styrofoam' insulation between. I used a portable rechargeable jig saw with a fine-toothed saw for a clean cut. The cut has to be very perpendicular to the door to have a correct cut on both the inside and outside panels. My window did not come with installation putty...which I bought from a local RV dealer. I placed the window slightly higher than normal...I can still peek out along the lower half...but a visitor standing on the upper step cannot see inside.

And no problem doing two portholes.. but the farthest from home has to get their hole cut first.. You know.. so they can get back on the road soonest... lol.
 
Pitched this idea to the DW last night and I was shot down again.  It seems we do not need the awesome fan with all the extras.  I'll remind her of that the next time she gets hot or cold in the middle of the night and wishes she could adjust the fan.
 
And the window apparently is not only not needed but allows unwanted viewing access when she gets out of the shower.  Ouch
 
And here I thought it was just adding some nice light and ambience to the Pod and a way to see who's knocking on my door before I unlock it.

We are getting ready to install the window for the door on our RPod. We have misplaced the screws. Amazon says they are stainless steel mounting screws but doesn't say what size. Does anyone know?
