The windows are from a shuttle bus. A guy got them to put in his rv and never did, actually have 8 of them :)

If I dont do a few more builds may offer the extras up here.

I have two that are escape hatch windows Which I thought would be very nice if you only wanted to do one door, which was my initial thought then decided to go with 2 doors.

Nice work! :thumbsup:

Are those the same type windows they use in conversion vans? I was wondering if those would work. I can get those used super easy, but I haven't found one with enough screen area for me (yet).

Yes, I think they use those same ones in conversions. It is a small opening and screen area. The windows are 30 x 24 overall, Opening is like 6x4 screen with window open.

Great job on the door and window. Looks real nice. May I ask where you plan to put the latch mech? I noticed you don't have much room on either side. What type of latch are you going to use?

I was thinking the same thing, it looks like the latch is going to have to be in the wall with a pull on the door to hold onto. I think it would be pretty neat, nice and clean on the door itself.

I may be interested in a couple if I can't find any local. Keep me in mind if you don't crank out a few more TDs.
