Hi, I'm new to the forum. I have had a r-pod 172 for several years. I live in Santa. Fe, NM and my wife and I enjoy camping in the southwest. I would like to put a slider type window in the door of my 172 but am concerned with how stable it would be mounted in a foam door. I know some of you have done it and would like to know if anyone has encountered any problems. I also joined the other forum before I discovered this one. Do most people belong to both? I am a little confused by the similarity of the websites. ------------- Frank Gibbons Santa Fe |

fdgibbons1, Welcome to the forum!! I installed the slider window in my 179 last year. The foam in the door is very rigid & thick. I had no problems doing the install & have not had any problems with the window since the install. Just remember, measure twice; cut once!! ------------- Rob & Becky 2014 Ford Explorer 3.5 SOHC V6 2015 R-179 Pod aka Piddle Pod "Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass, it is about learning to dance in the rain!!" |

Welcome to the group fdgibbons1. Glad to hear you have had your 172 for some time. Same for us as we have enjoyed our 177 for 5 years now. Great unit.
