Jonknite - where did you get the window?

Did you consider a slider?

Doing that in the spring. Such a sweet adder. It's like a dungeon in the Pod during the day.

Thanks!

We took a drawer from the kitchen cabinet, as well as a piece of the wood we were staining, to Sherwin Williams and they matched it. They did a great job!!

CLT-NC R-Podder Looks great, what color stain did you use to match the rest of the wood?

And FR said it couldn't be done.  I would have loved a window in the front wall in our 171.  Make sure you add a cover on the outside when you tow to protect against road debris.

Third window over the dinette of an R-178

One thing I missed when I upgraded from a pop-up to the R-Pod was the amount of light inside. I added the porthole in the door as many have done, but I wanted more light in the dinette area. I ordered a 12" X 30" RV window and here is the result:



I built a frame out of 1X3's. The rounded corners were cut from 2 X 4's using a bandsaw.



Cut out a hole in Pod the same size as the frame. The bottom of the hole is even with the top of one of the framework members for solid attachment of the frame. The sides were screwed into the next frame member up which was cut after the hole.



Then I used high strength adhesive to add another frame member for screwing in the top of the frame and to give the inner and outer skin some strength.



Screw in the frame and then install the window as per the manufacturers directions. Done!

This is our newest "mod" to create additional storage space while we are camping. We removed the factory galley rail above the microwave and added an 8" wide shelf across the entire slide-out.
