Installing windows in living room slide-out

I have thought of doing the same to my bedroom slide. I don't see where it would be a issue but am interested in what you find out and what you do. Good luck.

As someone who has removed the skin and have fixed rotted slide rooms, IF the OEM did not install a window, then it is not wise to try and cut a hole and install a new window. The strutural integrity of slide rooms is all based on as little weight as possible. So, they do not install standard aluminum or wood studs like in a regular wall in the RV. The odds are, if you decided to cut a hole, you may end up cutting one of the few wood/aluminum studs that give the slide out wall box its strength. Doug

To clarify are you talking about installing WINDOWS or Window units as in A/C window units?

A/C????? We're apparently on different wavelengths here......I want to put WINDOWS (like I've seen in other DP slides)in the ends of my living/dining slide.......and my info is IN my sig, 2004 Coachmen Cross Country

I think if you would have said just WINDOWS and not WINDOW UNITS in your original post there would be no confusion.
Funny I don't see your info in your sig. :h

As some one else said I would be concerned with structural integrity, they are in all likelihood a stress panel and holes would weaken them.

I think window units are windows.

Well,
It always helps to know what year, make, model etc. of the rig you're planning on doing this on. And, a possible quick call to the manufacturer, if that manufacturer is still in business might reveal the internal structure of the ends of the slides.
