undercrust, Howdy;

Hope your Holiday was a pleasant one.

May I suggest that you speak to some folks at various RV repair shops/dealerships
to see where they might be sourcing things like the windows.

Have a fun New Year and scavenger hunt for the items on your build list.

they’re known as hehr torque windows. you can also salvage them from campers, the seals dry out but can be replaced with new seals

I purchased the windows a couple years back. Ordered them from Home Depot. Only place I could find them. They are residential units. They are made with safety glass. Last time I checked they had been discontinued.

Yes, trailers with lifting platforms are a cool thing to save space in the trailer. It really helps to feel comfortable traveling together. So you can afford a double bed. I'm also currently considering options for new teardrops. This year I will be traveling with my partner. We really need something very convenient. By the way, I want a shower stall. I liked the trailer for Jay Flight SLX 8 263RBS 2023. I found information about this in an article about the best travel trailers. This trailer weighing 7k pounds, with a pull-out bed, a shower cabin, and a cozy kitchen. That's my teardrop dream.
