Broken window Jayco 27 BH

My drivers side front emergency exit window got broken last week. The window frame is in the glass shop getting repaired and won't be ready until Wednesday. The problem is it's now supposed to rain on Sunday and I'd like to go get it boarded up. But the trailer is 30 minutes away in storage and I have limited time tomorrow to fix it.

This is where I hope that you all can come in. Does anybody know the size of this broken window so I can cut a piece of plywood before I drive up to the storage yard? I imagine it's a fairly common window where you flip a handle at the bottom and push out to open the window. I'm hoping that one of you has access to their trailer and can measure the length and width of the opening. The window is on my 2005 Jayco 27BH, but I believe it's a fairly common window.

Thanks.

    I would use a large sheet of plastic (Home Depot) and tape it to roof with duck tape and cover that whole side area. Use something on the ground to hold it in place or use more duck tape at the bottom.

    Is the glass repair shop close by? Can you ride over there and trace it out on something? Call them and get measurements? Plywood would have to be cut out exactly and would need some weather stripping on around the edges.
    If not I like WyoTravelers idea, basically make your own awning. Less work, cheaper and will probably work better.

    I have two in my Jayflight. Both measure 29 1/4 x 19 1/4. That's inside from frame to frame. Good luck.

    Thanks WyoTraveller and CampingN.C., it's supposed to be windy so I don't think I'll make a giant awning on the side, but I like the plastic idea so I'm probably going to incorporate at least some of it.

    Gryphonguy, Thanks very much for measuring your windows for me, This will allow me to cut the sheet of wood at home and then head out to storage rather than hauling a bunch of tools with me.

    I'll post a picture or two when done.
    Thanks again
