Crank out windows

[Steve Frederick]

I have a window question - how you guys mounting them? I've heard most use screws, but some people use rivets?

Thanks.

Last project, units from Grant. They come with a trim/clamp ring that sandwiches the wall between frame/trim. Works well!
The windows from TJ Trailers work this way also. I used TJ units on the 'Diners.
What I'm looking for would be 15 by 30 with a crank out center as Grant discribed.
All-Rite quoted $2800 for four, I got a better quote, $1000, from Buccaneer.
I just talked with my client...Wife...and she's gonna go with wider slider units.
Got all the parts in the shop now, except windows, and some electrical stuff.
Sparks will fly this week!

I used Security Torx screws. It won't keep out a determined thief but it does discourage someone with a screwdriver.

I can't wait to see what you come up with.

You can put one of the screws on each side all the way through, countersink the backside and lock a couple nuts together on the inside. Same applies to the hinge. Pam from the other forum had hers broken into by breaking the window out in Denver so lexan or similar hard to break windows would be preferred.

I got the windows for my Shasta on ebay.



I got the windows first, then designed the trailer around them. I don't think I have more than $3-400 in the 4 of them. (delivered)

Don't know what size you need...Ya have to look around, but there out there.
