Any thoughts on these for windows?

Postby Deryk the Pirate » Wed Feb 23, 2011 12:07 am

I really do like the idea of the crank out windows cause it can be opened a little while its raining and have ventilation. Was wondering if these look ok to use on the trailer?

I'm using Jalousie Windows with Screen, but a little smaller 18" wide by 15" tall.

good find on that website I think they'd work remember it's your trailer and as long as the captains happy so is the crew

I was mostly concerned that they could handle bein on a trailer. It says they use safety glass so thats a plus.

Lowes sold that style of window a few years ago, but I don't think they do now.

I used them on my first build. They work well, even when driving in the rain.

If it's you -- go for it.

Those will work great, especially if they're safety glass. May be a little large depending on your door size. We have the 'single pane' crank out type in our doors & they work great. Ya just hafta be careful not to open the door too far/fast when they're open tho, else you'll dent your side. Some folks use a door stop/strap of some type to prevent that. We're usually careful not to 'crank' 'em too far out... ;)
