Aaron, Lookie up at the top to the right. You should find a link to Rich's List. Try Grants, Lil Bear. He has the windows you are looking for I think.

If you can't find them new...there's a great RV salvage place in MO.. Colaw...tell 'em the size you want and they'll try to find it... You can get their # off the net.

12X18 18 X24 surface mount self storing aluminum storm windows.

I use them in the small mini barns and play houses. If you have ever been to a lumber trade show look at the little demo units. These are miniture versions of the larger house units. They are top of the line aluminum , vinyl and wood units. Every time I get a lead from a yard I ask if they have any old demo units or scratch and dent windows and doors or special order units that were not picked up. You can get some wild deals. One manager lead me out back and had a carosel of 6 12 x 18 mini display windows in all there styles "fixed ,double hung ,single hung ,horizontal slider, ect " in the 6 most popular color and said take them they won't take up as much room in my dumpster. Just ask there are bargains drawing dust in yards everywhere !

I got mine from an outfit that sells truck caps.

Windows? Try www.tjtrailers.com Good selection of windows and inner frames. That's the type I'm using - not a bad deal.

Jack...have ya bought your windows yet...if not...HOLD THE FORT...I use the same windows that TJ sells, specifically the 15x24 sliders which list for 83bucks...I buy the EXACT same window from the Exact same jobber for 62 bucks...the windows come(to TJ) from RedNeckTrailerSupply...I have a local RedNeck distributor(my welding supply) house and they charge me 62 bucks and NO SHIPPING...check with your local welding supply or weldors or utility trailer manufacturer for a local RedNeck Distibutor

p.s. I don't use their inner frames...I find 'em kinda cheesy...we just drill screw holes in the outer flange of the window, apply a urethane sealer and screw them in place...we then use a little black paint on the screw heads.....MJ

I just ordered mine yesterday. The best deal I could find was R.W.Johnson. They were about 38.00 for 12x18. These are the crankout type with screens. I too looked for a long time. I think these will work for me.
There is a link for R.W. Johnson on Richs list on the top of the page.
Other good prices on trim and such.

Madjack,
Those might me a little hard to find around my neck of the woods. I'll do some research on RedNeckTrailer Supply and see what I can find. We don't have local manufacturer but maybe the guys I bought my trailer from can help me. I always appreciate any $ saving tips, many thanks.
By the way, what do you use to trim out the interior around the windows?
Thanks Again...........

Hey Yall,
I bought mine on ebay and got a great deal.They were new crank outs w/screens and i paid 18.00 for the pair + 19.00 shipping.Just happened to be some that someone bought for a kids treehouse that never got built.Never know what you can find till you look for 8 or 10 months like i did! JUst start building and dont cut the holes till you find the windows!

I got mine from an RV surplus in Sacramento. I don't remember the actual name of the place. I think its on Rich's list. The owner calls himself the RV Doctor. He does have a website. Used stuff but reasonabley priced. Tons of windows, but you have to look for what you want. I did have to spend a few minutes cleaning them up. Lots of other stuff too. If it was used on any kind of an RV, its there someplace.

RedNeck is a very large National trailer parts supplier, I don't know that they do any direct to public online sales...we have a local utility trailer mfg and a local welding suply house that are both RedNeck dist...at a savings of 20+bucks plus shipping per window, it would pay to hunt them down...interior trim will be up to you, if mounted as we did...we cut the hole out with a template and plunge router and then used the same aluminized T molding that we used on all our interior doors and edges...

I, personally, wouldn't use house type windows. The glazing needs to be tempered. Regular glass might not be able to take the occasional pebble flying into it off the road or the vibration, while traveling. The screen on the outside will take care of the pebbles, though.

I'm planning on making my own with Lexan, which is available in many sizes from any big box store. If you are going to make your own cabinet doors, the tilt-out window wouldn't be much of a stretch from there, imho.

Just my 2 kopeks, Ilya
