RinTin - my windows were NOS found on ebay - they're larger than the originals but I kinda like them -- they make the cabin less clostrophbic. I used the same size on the sides and the front and the door has a similar window that slides up and down - originals did not have an opening window in the door. OK, thanks. If I keep it, the Yellowstone will be 2-3 years off so I have plenty of time to source parts. The aluminum frame with round corners makes it work to my eye. More natural light is always better. Nice work!!

The problem with just buying new salvage units is that they are mostly black anodized - not a good look on a vintage trailer. It took me quite a while to find these that were "raw" aluminum.

Yep, that's why I was curious where you sourced yours.

For those of you contemplating home-builds, I have several two-pane crank out windows that came from a '68 salvage camper. The windows are in great shape glass and frame wise and each come with a screen, inside trim piece and crank handle, but will need repairs to the torque rod bearings, but replacement parts are available on Vintage Trailer Supply for about $9.00.
