And if it ever arrives I hope to glue that guy (figure of speech) in here

It was supposed to have been a replacement window for a scamp? Not too sure, well see how it works out, Rough opening measures 18" by 8.25"-ish.

Well I adjusted the proposed sight lower on the front curve trying to catch as much of the straight edge that I can, It'll be a bit lower than Id Like but..... Until I can get my Hands on it to test fitment, its all up in the air. Sure wish it was on a shelf at Walmart where you can pick it up and spin it around Etc. Who knows , It might be back up for bid on Ebay!

What did you pay? And since you posted this, I'm getting nostalgic:

Since I'm ALMOST finished with my TD, I haven't been on eBay in MONTHS--and I MISS it!

You know, if you had two of those, it might be cool installing them low on your side walls, near where your head would be when sleeping. Might be nice being able to look out while laying down.

Although its stated as new and a Hehr Window, Im sad to say I paid $51.00, 15.00 more for a slow boat from the other coast, I know, all in all not too bad of a deal, but all for naught if It doesnt look/Fit well.

yes, a bit clunky, but sturdy as well... I'm still on the fence about windows.

What search did you do to find them, like 'trailer window'?

I used "RV window" with historically about 40 hits in Ebay Motors, also "Camper Window" seems to come up with a few.

Hey Folks,
I have some updated Pics of front window install if anyone is bored. It didn’t sit as flush I'd hoped, So I "Massaged" the trim to fit the curve, Il put a drip cap over once outer skin is on, Still needs a bit more work.

Updated Progress Pics in the Gallery,
Thanks,
Mike
