we love our new (to us) 2001 carriage cameo and it has tons of features we really like.but dh keeps banging his head on the overhead cabs above the sink. we're thinking we may have them removed and wonder if a good custom shop can add a slightly larger window in that space. we donated the heavy sofa sleeper which came with the cameo and intend to install a long narrow cabinet under the window in it's space, so we won't be losing any vital storage by removing the upper cabs.a taller window there would be nice if it's not terribly difficult for a custom shop to do properly.what do you think?

Should be possible but pricy. Depends on who you have doing it of course. Finding a window that matches the ones already installed might be difficult.

I think it can be done. Now finding a quality shop in your area may be a issue. Might want to plan a few week trip to Indiana. These guys did some paint work for me a few years back and was very happy with their work. Don't know much about their interior side of the business. Randu

Add a window-SURE! You can even add a slideout. Truth is-a trailer is not any different than a stick house. You can add/remove/remodel anything you choose. Just keep this in mind. Before you go cutting holes in walls. You must first remove interior panels so you can see "exactly" where the wiring and wall studs are. Then you can remodel accordingly.I think the main concern is "as mentioned". Finding a window that looks like your existing windows. Also (after you know where your studs are-and wiring has been redirected), finding a window the right size-that looks the part.

Issue may be any wiring that is in the walls? If you cut the opening larger, they could cut something that shouldn't be cut!!!:(If you are sorta handy, you can order a window, and break out the saber saw, and cut out the side yourself...lots of folks have done it themselves.

They make them for most of the Mfg. out there and they will look just like the others.Easy WindowsHere is an example of their work on a replacement window that matches the others in the RV.Window
