Front Window Cover

I have a 1989 29' Citation travel trailer and am either looking for a cover for our front window or looking for a possible way to make my own.

Has anyone here taken the initiative to build one on their own? It looks like with a little thought that I could make one for a good price.

Thanks!

    I like this idea!
  • Not really because front windows are not all the same size and this one on eBay certainly does not look the same as what I have on my 1989 Citation.
  • You can buy the whole friggin window for $140 here http://www.ebay.com/itm/NIB-white-Kinro-8500-RV-trailer-greenhouse-picture-window-rock-guard-48X22-/231089926238

  • We had a front window cover built from a plastic panel (designed for roofing) on a 957 Go Light Lark. It seemed to work OK since we never got a broken front window. Good luck / Skip
