The Play-Pac fiberglass trailer from the 70s/80s? used a clear dome over the front of the cabin:

I don't think they were immune from leaks.....

Say now. Along with a sextant, the Compass Rose could do some serious navigation.

:thumbsup: Love that sight I booked marked it a while back
The prices really aren't to bad either. I thought about one head size so I could stick my head up and see what's happening outside. :lol:

They have oval domes too! This could look really cool on top of a teardrop if designed right. Sort of like a Navy fighter plane.

Please note that these domes need to have a flat base to mount on. So you'd need a teardrop like a Benroy with flat section between front and rear curves - and then you'd be limited to maybe 24" as the flat section isn't much longer than that.

We can have them blown with any radius or contour at the base. We haven't had the need to put a "Jetson's" bubble in a trailer, but we make fixtures for a local plastics guy.

I can see it now, a bubble big enough to stand up and get dressed. Well, maybe not a good idea for those around me 8)
