Newbie here. Hello! Lots of great info here.
My boyfriend has a 1968 Aristocrat Lo Liner trailer that he takes great pride in and loves. From what I understand, it is rare due to the fact that it has a bathroom, shower and a top side fridge. It seems to be in great shape and is fully operational. We have had many wonderful memories in it.
I have recently accidentally broken a few of the jalousie window panes/slats and am eager to replace them. After reading several threads here, this is what I have gathered: Remove the screen and take one of the good panes to a local reputable glass shop, tell them what I am using it for and order replacements and an extra for any future mishaps. I should request tempered glass and that all four sides be ground. This sounds good to me and I'm all for it, but my boyfriend states that the glass will not be the same color or quality as the originals. Will the replacement glass be sufficient and undetectable of differences from the originals? Would I be better off trying to find original 1968 glass panes, and if so, where might I do that? I found some on ebay and the measurements are close, but not exactly the same.
