Windows

I purchased some Hehr windows on ebay and they didn't come with any instructions. Anyone have any experience with these windows or know where I can get some installation instructions?

What model of Herh window did you buy?

Here is a few sites that has some installation and service instructions for some models of Hehr.
Maybe a phone call to one of these locations will get you the installation information you desire?

I believe they are 5990's. I have a couple of photos of them in my album. Thanks for the web sites but they don't seem to cover the installation of them.

TP, those look similar to the radiused windows we got thru RedNeckTrailerSupply...there are 2 ways of mounting them...1) clamp rings...these go on the inside and a screw goes thru them and into a groove on the inside of the window, sandwiching the wall beteen the window and the clamp ring and 2) drilling holes in the outer flange of the window and screwing them directly to the wall...we didn't like the "cheesy" look of the clamp rings and drilled holes in the flange and screwed them directly to the wall, using an auto glass adhesive/sealant on them...we then painted the screw heads black to match the windows...

LOrdy. I have the cheesy look and did as Madjack said. Window with butyl tape or window sealant on the front and clamp ring on the back.

If your window didn't have a clamp ring you can get one to fit at the RV place. If you bought the window new and didn't get one yell at the dealer for one. Somewhere I have a better picture of the inside with the clamp ring and will try to find it. I cut a wider ring down for my door because I didn't like the one that came with it.

...maybe I should clarify "cheesy"...the rings that came with the first set of windows were just plain crappy looking...didn't like 'em...so, after talking with the supplier about alternative methods of mounting, we drilled the holes and screwed them directly to the door...the method worked and looked good enough, that we continued to do the same on the latest build........

Sorry I just couldn't resist. The rings with my small window were the right ones and they were thin, cheap and didn't really cover the hole by the amount I wanted. CheeZy.

Here is the inside pictures


The big window was the same I just got a cream color and will paint someday.


I turned this one inside out because the wall wasn't thick enough. It works.

So these are installed in 3/4 inch plywood walls? Where exactly did you get the inner trim rings from?
Thanks Philip

Mine came with a clamp ring but I don't see how I can make it work with a 3/4 inch door. It looks like its made for a wall thats about 2 inches think. I uploaded a photo to my album. Sorry but my dog had to get his head in on this one.

I followed the link above (that sdtripper posted) to buccaneer manufacturing -- I've been emailing back and for all afternoon -- they told me they could get trim rings for me and qoted me $30 a piece -- they said that the trim ring is maunfactured depending on the width of the wall -- I told them mine was 3/4 thick (actually its 11/16th) and they said OK can do! So now I have to decide if I want to purchase from them or go ahead and make an inner trim ring as I was originally planning.
Thanks for the link. I think I'm going to buy.

The site Madjack posted looks great. My big window had a ring that came with it from the salvage yard. I just turned it around because the walls on the rv were thicker. Any RV salvage yard should have lots of rings. You need to make a wood trim to thicken the door or order one like MJ posted.

Or use screws like MJ did. Oh yeah you can cut them on the sides and top/bottom.

ahhh Just call or email lil bear. He can probably tell you what you need to do. This is all soooooooooo confusing.......... good luck.

Great site Jack. Too bad they don't have clamp rings for my windows. I think my clamp rings are for a much thicker wall.

Here's another site that carries the same windows that TJ Trailer does but seems to be a little bit cheaper.
