It never ceases to amaze me how quickly a true professional can make one of these things come out beautifully! Color me green with envy. :applause:

Finally out in the sun for the first time...had to clean up the garage a bit and spray some waterproofer along the bottom edges! Getting closer to paint!

They are aluminum framed, tilt out units out of a vintage camper, make unknown, but what few photos of original Slumbercoach exist, show a similar style. Hinged at the top, they are pushed out and locked in by an aluminum , cantilevered lever on the side, with notches for different opening amount. Some early windows like this had the lever on the bottom. The guy I got them from said he had a few more if you want me to find his contact info

Yes, I'd be interested. I do like the tilt-out - I am going to see what I can find from salvage/recycled. We're going to get started this week (finally).

I did something on this build that I haven't done before. Since Slumbercoach painted their roofs, and I used regular roof edge trim and twist nails, I had my painter prime and paint the trim and nails along with the roof. Actually came out nice. Time will tell if it holds up to weather and age.
