That would be a nice addition.  I'm going to contact our dealer to see if a window can be added and if they will do it and the cost.]]> Sat, 09 Jan 2010 00:31:46 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=976&PID=8909#8909 window in door : HuronSailor those look like the... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=976&PID=8847#8847 Author: Butterfly_Lee

HuronSailor  those look like the ones I photo shopped.  Can't find it now, but someone posted that windows in the walls was a big no no according to forest river (can't remember if the said door too).  Figure I'll wait till Podterfly is all mine (and not the banks) and out of warranty.  I think the round window would be great, and would be fantastic if it opened to get cross ventilation.   

Meanwhile have a friend looking into a deal for the camera.

I just rechecked the link and it has a reversible mounting flange that adjusts for either 1/8" or 1 1/2" walls.  Would likely need to adapt something for 2" door thickness...  Ouch    Unless the door is not as thick than the 2" sidewalls...?

As for the door I don't think there is a reason why it couldn't be done.  The same goes for the sides where it's flat.  Just be sure to use the rounded corners windows that RV's use.  If you don't you will have problems.

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. ]]> Fri, 01 Jan 2010 22:12:05 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=976&PID=8828#8828 window in door : Originally posted by yizit It... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=976&PID=8821#8821 Author: Butterfly_Lee

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.

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 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.]]> Sat, 19 Dec 2009 06:32:30 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=976&PID=8684#8684 window in door : TOTALLY agree!!
