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.

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.

Yup, the front and backs are not aluminum they are wood.  ------------- https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=cnBvZC5zcG90dGVyQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ - RPod Rallies https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1foQXGtrjf8aYly1uh0b-bHPfI&hl=en_US - RPod Owner Map |

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 ------------- 2018 Vista Cruiser 19BFD (2018- 2012 Vibe 6503 (2014-2019) 2009 r-pod 171 (2009-2014) Middle Tn 2014 Ram 1500 Quad cab |

kymooses, thanks for that! I'm guessing I should be able to locate those with my stud sensor...when I find it. fred ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |
