pass through window use?

Years ago, when we were young and didn't have a care we let people ride in the truck camper.

We had an inflatable airbag, I don't know what else to call it, that went between the truck and camper. Stopped wind rain etc.

We would pass food through and on occasion the skinny of us would trade spots, truck back seat and camper, LOL

Now we know better, I am not sure what you would use it for. Heat transfer maybe? Or air conditioning.

Just as I mentioned before: Communication. ;)

Wouldn't be without it and the boot I use. Dog sleeps in the "basement" (IE: Platform built on the back seat in the crewcab.) She considers the truck cab her domain when we are "camped".

We don't use it for access to the truck...but it is a great source of ventilation...especially for the dog.
Open the slider (ours has a screen), turn on the FF and there is a nice cool breeze blowing through the whole camper...

One of our trucks has a pass through, we have only used it once when Dang Dawg jumped on the door switch. DW got a nearby skinny kid to crawl through and open the door after I popped the window open with a screw driver (far too easy).

We’ve had pass-thru windows on both our campers and love having the feature for the following reasons:

- Yes, upon occasion, my aging bones have been squeezed thru the tiny pass-thru window to retrieve something from the truck. Also, when the lock failed on our camper’s door, all four of us still gained access to the camper by climbing thru the pass-thru window, so we could eat lunch.

- When first pulling away from home or campsite, having the pass-thru window has saved us, because since we can then hear sounds in the camper, we’ve been alerted to an open window, or a door/drawer left unsecured. So, the pass-thru also serves as my my built-in airhead protection!

- During periodic stops along the road, it's been nice being able to pass food, drink or clothing between the truck and camper.

For our family, we enjoy having the window. Note: we use a foam boot at the pass-thru and recommend the product.

I am no longer a TC owner, but am curious. If no one uses the pass through window, what was the window designed for?

I had always thought it was for communication between any passengers in the TC and the truck.

Don't use mine at all.

In ten years of use, I've never used it to pass anything through. Actually, the truck window stays closed essentially all the time; the one in the camper is closed during transit and opened for ventilation as appropriate at other times.
