1. A jigsaw.
2. None.
3. Amazon -- a marine porthole that opens.  You can get it at marine supplies but it is more costly.  RV places have round windows, but I found none that open.
Be sure to measure the door thickness [take out the lock set to do it] and check to see that the flange on the window is not too big or small.

Never leave footprints behind.

Hello fellow Podders. As I can only dream and plan trips at the moment. One of the final mods I'm considering is adding the window into the door. Could those of you who have done so already be so kind and help me out with few questions I have.

Which method did you use for cutting the hole? Jig saw or router?

Even after tapping the cut lines how much chipping happened on the exterior finish?

Where did you find the window? I'm having trouble locating one other than amazon.

Thanks for the help everyone. Happy Camping!
