M-Man,In my opinion, anything is possible, But some things just don't make sense.  I Think for me it comes down to, do i have to cut an aluminium framing stud?  I wouldn't Some others would.

 Go get a REAL GOOD stud finder, Mine sees all studs, metal or wood and electrical wires, and see where the aluminium studs are. If there is no stud where you want a window, this is a relitivly simple project.  Pretty much just cut the hole and put in a window. 

Here's to hoping! John

	My Pod is the #172 with large bunks in the front and dinette in the back. There are no windows at the bunk end of the pod. I want to install opening windows there (on the sides only not on the front body curve) for light and ventilation. However I'm reluctant to do it myself. If they leaked I'd have no one to complain to. I was at my local Camping World facility yesterday and they said they "probably" could do it. Has anybody had them do body repairs/new work such as this and if so was it done to your satisfaction? One of the body shop men lives near me and was kind enough to offer to look at the trailer at my home so I didnt have to take it to them for inspection which I felt was pretty nice. There are other RV shops in my area that could do it also so I do have other options. mountainman
