It would be so nice to have a window in the door of the 172's to add some light into the pod.  To be able to open it would be nice too.

I wonder if anyone has looked into doing this.  The windows in RVs do not seem to be all that complex to install.  The two biggest obstacles would seem to be; finding the right size of window, and then, mustering the courage to saw a window sized hole in one's door.

There isn't any support for anything in the door so I can't see where there would be a problem.  Even if it didn't open it would be nice to have.

Looks like a standard RV door to me, we might be able to track down the window that is in the other ones I've seen.

Hi Terry,   Are you speculating there are no supports within the door cavity?  Reason I'm asking is I don't want to start cutting only to find I've ruined the door

No, I was just pointing out that the door can't be supporting anything above it.  So cutting a hole in it wouldn't hurt anything.  My guess would be that there is 2 supports going sideways within the door.  That would make 3 cavities in the door.  If the skin on the inside part of the door could be removed a lot of questions could be answered.

I agree with the light, (I'll probably add the clear vent in the bathroom too), but what I really would like is to be able to see out the door, before I open it.  I've been thinking of a peep whole in the wall (not the door because of the screen), or maybe a backup type camera/video mounted above the door so i can get a 180 view with monitor on cabinet or wall.

Just some thoughts, we are kind of blind it the front. Maybe something like this.

That would be a good thing to have inside the pod or any TT.  You never know who could be lurking outside your door when you are camping off season and there are less ppl around.
