Does anyone know how thick the back walls are of the r-pods? I am thinking or replacing the back window with a different style one where the bottom half cranks open. Still thinking about this do not know if the back window being on a slant will be a problem. Thank you.    David

David,

I came across this while wondering about wall thickness. Thanks to furpod!

I Looked at that too, but I am thinking the front and back walls may be a different thickness being they do not have the block foam. I think too they may have wood instead of aluminium for the framing. A window I am looking at is for a 1 7/8" wall.     David

Yup, the front and backs are not aluminum they are wood.

Thank you for the picture. Yes it is wood and to me it looks like the front and back walls may be thicker than the side walls.    David

kymooses, thanks for that!

I'm guessing I should be able to locate those with my stud sensor...when I find it.
