Has anyone here, or does anyone know of a window that can go into the front of the Rpod?

What a waste of wall space!

I only know of a couple owners who have attempted it. It's very involved since the front wall isn't framed in for a window.

Hope they jump in on this thread! I want to hear from them.

We're seriously debating moving moving on if we can't do what we wish to see happen. That front is very important to us. Such a waste of area..

I know looking at my 178, the front appears more curved than the rear. I have added a window to a flat area. It would take a special window and the framing Furpod talks about. Quite the project.

Guess that I'm confused - our 179 has a window in the front, right over the sink. Wish that it was operable though. I think that the wall curvature would make it tricky to do so.

Ben, I thought the 179 sink was in the rear. Same as I have a rear window. I am not aware of any Pod with a front window from the factory.

Embarrassed

You're right, I'm a complete wacko. Was thinking backwards. Not sure that I've ever seen a small TT with a front window -

Funny my friend. Actually there are several with full front windows, but they have a flat face or a curved face that the window is custom made for. AND the window was framed in.

Comment on windows - having spent a considerable amount of time living in Pod during cold months. The side windows and door window I installed where not much of an issue, they provided a minimal amount of insulation. The rear window with the bed was a major headache. First I never set on the bed and stared out the rear window. I got it those of you with rear space other than a bed, will probably like it. For me I had to insulate that window to provide for warmth and keep that area of the bed being uncomfortable to sleep in. It was COLD. I still have that insulation covering the rear window, still have no desire to sit on the bed and stare out the rear window. Personally I could live without the rear window, it does nothing except give me another seal to watch.

Me, I plan on running from the cold.. We just returned from a 4K mile run and one of the things we both said when looking at the units out there.. "We want a front window!" 

It's that feeling of outside inside. Window do that.

When you have to be inside, it's a great thing to have all that outside available.

We saw a unit we could move up to. Why? It has a front window! What a difference!

Love our 182g, yet if I can't mod it up... well...
