What do the Flamineta's cost in Mexico?


Guy
Yesterday I was in the "big city" of Poza Rica and saw that the ovens had gone up about $20. They are right at $100 apeace now. The last ones I got at Walmart were on sale for $80. Inflation is hitting Mexico, everything is going up. :cry:

The shipping is about $30+, I only bring one or two at a time across the border, so there is no import tax.

I will be glad to get one for any one that wants a Flamineta and ship it from Brownsville.

Here is some photos of how my front window was done. The plywood was routed half way through, so there is a lip. The Lexan can only go in, it can't fall through. Then the outside frame holds it in place. Lots of silicone & screws. If I had it to do again, I would try to make it more like the Camp-Inn. Their windows really look nice. Without looking, I can't remember if there is an extra reinforcing piece of plywood on the inside too (green). I'll take a look when it's light out.

Hope this helps. Sorry it that's too many big photos in one message!

Dave

I'll be interested to see what you come up with dave.

I'm like you, love different features of both the Camp-Inn and the Hunter. My ideal tear would be a combination of both.

Being a glazing contractor, I'm not too giglish about using polycarbonate for any of my windows. (Even the treated UV, Mar-Resistant types)
If I was going to go with the Camp-Inn style windows up front, I'd go with flat tempered glass. The framing could be fabricated to get around the radius surface of the trailer body.
I'm glad to see that no one attempted using acrylic and knew that polycarbonate was needed.

The ultimate... Bent Tempered Glass. (If money is of no concern)
Maybe a little research in automotive replacement glass would be a route to venture.
