Front Window Yes or No?
Work continues on the 2002 Lance 811, and with the front window out we are wondering if we should leave it out and close up the hole. It seems like around 2005-ish all the manufacturers stopped in...

Yeah ... some folks might like that forward facing window up there in the cabover bed area ... until a flying rock from an approaching truck in the opposite lane breaks it and scatters tiny glass shards all over the driver and the passenger while going down the road! :E
This happened to us 2500 miles from home and it was "fixed the first time", improperly, 2500 miles from home and leaked water from rain storms during the trip back home. Back home it took two more attempts by an RV repair facility to finally replace it right.
Years later I finally got the rain water stains bleached out of the cabover floor. Our cabover forward facing window is now plastic coated on the outside to either deflect rocks, or at least contain the glass pieces - should it ever crack/break again.
