Where would be the best place to find windows for the doors?

Windows? For the doors? Where to start? There are windows as doors and windows in doors, both sold by vendors found on this forum. You can make your own doors and put in the window of your choice: awning, horizontal slider, vertical slider, portlights, portholes, or make your own Wiley window. Did I mention materials? Frames of aluminum, plastic, or wood; glass or acrylic or polycarbonate to see through (I recommend something like safety glass, or scratch resistant polycarbonate -just in case-). Some people don't use safety or shatter resistant materials, but I believe in them (having cut myself many times with standard single-pane glass). There have been many threads on all these. I considered all at one time or another, during my 23 month build, and even made a test prototype of the Wiley, just to see if my version was good enough to put on the trailer (answer: no, not even up to my low standards!). So, in the end, I bought 15"x18" awning windows from Lil Bear. I waited to see if the final space left for them, on my sides, not in the doors, was sufficient (having planned for at least one 15x18 from day one, but mods along the way made it a tighter fit than I wanted). A caveat: don't buy a window before you are ready! I bought a 48"x29" crank-out, before I had even enlarged, modified, my trailer frame or decided on one door or two. A 4'x8' was always my choice for the size of the TTT, so the window still sits, unused, once I planned for 2 doors (couldn't squeeze it in onto the front either).

I built my own, viewtopic.php?f=21&t=57192&p=1040608&hilit=cheapest+possible+windows#p1040608 all the parts came from Home depot. It really comes down to what you want to spend. Many people on here get RV type windows from ebay much cheaper than a normal supplier can sell them

There are lots of possibilities ... but why not consider patronizing vendors who support and participate on this Forum ... :thinking: ...?
