No metal frame. It was a 2 piece glass (picture a thermo pain) and was sealed at the ends and had a rubber weatherstrip/seal around it that sealed to the trailer, this is where they leaked and why the OP had to repair the front wall. I had a 93 Award 727 trailer and it had A small leak at the front that i stopped before it caused any damage! They are excellent towing trailers to bad they were plagued with the water leak issue!
I would get a piece large enough to cover the opening and then heat it to conform to the contour of the front, IIRC it was only rounded side-side not up/down? Then maybe build some kind of frame to hold it and screw that into the opening?
Thanks Dodge Guy for the explanation. I was trying to figure out how to say that. This little trailer is great and we love it but by accident found the leak issue you mentioned and my husband has been learning how to fix it trial and error. He has done a great job of getting the water damage corrected but this window is a real trial. Also one of our main problems is that he has less that 2 weeks left to get it done and can only work on it when he has a free moment. Add to that a very limited budget and you have US.
Anyway, he really likes a lot of the ideas you have posted and this weekend we will be starting whatever seems the most functional for us. I hope to be able to post the results here in a couple of weeks.
