I'm still forever impressed with your amazing rear extension on the back, and yet it all looks good in proportion with the trailer. The port holes add just the right amount of light while preserving privacy. Very cool.

No they do not open, my DW does not like a draft over her head while sleeping. I made my own windows. I put the widows on the bathroom side because I put cabinets at the foot ends, the feet go under the cabinets.

Thanks to all who have replied. I agree, if there are no studs or wires in the way, it's just a matter of cutting the holes, adding blocking, and sealing them good. I live in the northern Puget Sound area of Wash. St. so the pod will get rained on a lot! The stud finder I have won't locate metal studs; if not too expensive I may get one if I wind up doing this myself. Last winter I took some pictures of the pod when it was below freezing. The metal framing shows up quite well in them to get at least an approximate idea where they are.
Marwayne, can tell me where you got the portholes? Do they open? I've found 14" x 16" and 21" x 14" that should fit but I'd like to see what other sizes are available.

I put a window in my door. Not impossible, just need basic skills and be patient. In old days I used to put windows in vans and sunroofs in cars. Make a pattern, measure multiple times.

We have a couple owners who have done small portholes that open, It's not a big deal.. but it is cutting some holes in your pod..
