Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Newbie converting 6 x 12 Interstate to camper . Question about windows . Having difficulty finding used sliders to fit between the steel ribs . Question, can you install a horizontal slider vertically? Really would not like to cut a rib but can if need be . Thanks for any help. :thinking:

Sliders are made to be installed horizontal the drain holes are put in according to the orientation . Just cut the riband.then you can add some angle iron to the ribs on either side.

I found my vertical sliders on eBay. They fit between the ribs without having to cut anything but the skin.

As previously mentioned, RV windows have drain holes for their proper orientation, so you probably don't want to install a horizontal RV window in a vertical orientation, only to realize later that there's water coming in or that gravity makes them slam shut or open. (Vertical sliders have one or two stops for staying open.)

For what it's worth.

Best wishes. :ok:
