updating windows?
Has anyone swapped out the old crank outs for the new slider styles? I have an 81 Shasta 24' RV and wanted to update the windows.

Assuming that we're talking about the louvered "crankout" jalousie-style windows:
In the opinion of this Pacific Northwesterner, sliders becoming "standard" is NOT an improvement in the industry. And I think that anyone that's tried to get a little air in the rig without getting wet when it's raining may agree. The old jalousies have no equal in the ventilation department.
Those old style jalousies were great! The trend now seems to be away from sliding window and to the one piece push out windows which are terrible for letting a decent amount of air in. I saw several new 5vers and "A"s last week that had these type of windows and not a single slider. To us its a step backward. This is our second HTT and both had at least one push out-style window. They DO NOT allow nearly as much air in. The one piece push out windows have one redeeming quality and that is when its raining. But the large sliding windows on our X20E is one of the things that attracted us to the trailer.
