FRAMELESS WINDOWS?

As far as I can tell there are three kinds of RV windows out there …

The traditional sliding window, my favorite. When open you get what, about 40% open to the air?

The Doemetic push out window, a window NOT for grizzly country or for any kind of leave the window open while you sleep security. Plus you roll all the bugs attached to the screen down into the window when you let the screen drop. Those will never be an option ffor me.

Then the frameless windows…now my question is since those windows only go out a few inches, how much airflow are those windows allowing into the camper? Seems a bit restrictive to me.

Youe thoughts….

Cheer,

  • 2oldman, try to clean the tracks that they slid in, then spray with heavy duty silicon and work back and forth.

    One of my sliders is sticking so bad I can hardly open it. Got any tips?


    Remove the screen and use a wet microfiber towell to clean the tracks really really good, That did it for me

    3M does make a window slide lubricant that you might try.

  • We have the frameless windows that crank out about four inches at the bottom. The air flow is terrible.
  • Seems restrictive to me too, and it won't be straight through like the slide up windows. They look good, but I prefer the sliding windows. And I have read of a few cases where the windows have detached themselves from the trailer while going down the road.
