Anything to do with mechanical, construction etc

Joshua, Here's the Ebay link to the store where I got all my windows. I found two matching crankouts for the doors and the one in the front is a slider. Hope this helps.

I've also got crank-out windows. Caravan double glazed ones.

I've got a wind block planned to stop them from being hit whilst driving. Sorry, no pix, yet. But think of it as a horizontal rain drip guard.

David, Is that a problem? Have you noticed the windows getting tagged by debris going down the highway?

I"m not him, but have towed for at least 40,000 miles and never a window problem... can't even envision how it could happen, considering how they are located... parallel to the road.

Well, we are of the slider persuasion. Got the sliders from Grant that you show, seal great, no leaks, and no dust problem (live in the desert nevada). I like that they don't stick out and jab me.

Sorry, it's not due to be roadworthy until next year. Possibly jan, but more likely feb. I'm hoping that it will help, however reality may not agree . . .

Had the crank out but switched to the sliders. I like the crank out but mine didn't work and I found a nice pair of sliders at the junkyard for $10 each so at that price I couldn't pass them up.

Planning on crank out on the present build unless one of my trips to the junk yard yield something else.
