Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

I have made window frames to go on the out side of my teardrop trolley top.

a little hard to see but I cut the top at a 5 degree slant

there will be a pc of plexiglass going over the inside of the window frame.

My problem is it only opens a little and if I want to put hinges on .... that will almost be impossible. I am thinking of adding a back pc to the frame that i can attach the frame to before attaching it to the trolley top side. then making the added pc wider and higher then the fame so I can attach it to the walls.

I plan to install a rod that will go through the inside screen and push the window out.

same idea here but it swings up higher and has no problem with installing hinge.

hope I have explained this well enough

You could put the hinge behind the window frame like this which to me looks like the best idea.


Or you could trim the top off the frame and put the hinge like this

Thanks for the drawings.

You are right I can cut more off. and had not thought of a reverse hinge.

My problem before was I could not open it wide enough to attach the hinge at the back.

wish I were that good at graphics.

I cut the top and bought smaller brass hinge. Looks like it will work

I'm not sure I understand corectly. Is the window set inside the frame and the frame extends outside the window? If this is corect, what about using a 'pin' in each side as a hinge? The pin would be set below the top of the window so the top opens up a bit inside and the bottom opens out.

Sorry got a lot on my pate again. A freind fell ill and he gave me 3 more trailers

I will try and take a shot with it cut with hinge laying on top. I still have to route out the back side and in lay a tinted fiberglass window.
