Has anyone modified their R-Pod to add a front window? We have a 177 model and think that would be great to have over the breakfast nook. I'm not bad and constructing things and have a inkling just to design and add one, but wanted to ask if others have already gone this route. Would add a lot of light where it's needed in daytime hours. Let us know what you think. M&P Forever ------------- Happy Landings Everyone |

Welcome! I asked about the same thing two years ago with my 171 (same floorplan as yours, but the kitchen is inverted). Someone, I don't remember if it was Forest River or elsewhere, claimed it couldn't be done. The argument may have been due to the supports in the wall, but personally I don't see why it couldn't be done if the window was framed out correctly. The catch is the front wall has a sharp curve to it so it may be difficult to fit a flat RV window into the area. It will need to have a travel cover like other RVs have for protection during towing. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

I too think the curve is to radical for a flat window in the front of the Pod. A curved window could be done but that would be an expensive custom window. ------------- Sean, 2011 Rpod RP-173,2009 Jeep Liberty Rocky Mountain Edition
