Better to cut small and have to enlarge than to cut large since it would not be possible to shrink it. That is the route I took when I installed our window. Making the first cut on your cardboard template was a good move.

I don't know about the other RV doors, but here's what I used, from Amazon…
CRL 12" Round Porthole Window Tinted Tempered Glass - 1/8" or 1-1/2" WallThe instructions aren't so good, they say cut a 12" hole, but it required a 12 1/4" hole. Make a test hole in cardboard first, just to be safe. Also, the screws attach to the back of the front panel in a groove. It really is easy to cut and install, it's just really hard to cut a hole in your treasured Pod. I'm blown away how nice (and normal) it is to have the window installed. I like being able to look out the pod on that side.

Are there different thicknesses or are all RV windows designed for the same thickness? Can you send the brand/model you used?

Same here, I wanted the cool factor of a porthole, my wife said she wanted an opening screened window. She won, the porthole looks cool. I think. Nice work.

I liked the porthole, but my wife wanted the rectangular one that can open so that is what I installed. You can see it in my mods. You did a really nice job. Congratulations.

That really looks good. I think this is the best style I have seen.
