So,
You guys have found "plexiglass" to be too delicate for RV use???
I'll have to make a note of that.

Just make sure your plexiglass is Lexan brand and you will have some tough stuff. There are other brands of Plexiglass that work too, just be sure it is polycarbonate as was said earlier. Some manufacturers of plexiglass do their best to confuse us. Polycarbonate whatever the brand seems to do the job as far as I know. I paid a little more to get Lexan brand just to avoid getting sucked in. I did not want the hassle of working with bad stuff. I cut the Lexan with a sabre saw and drilled holes like it was butter but carefully. Not a mishapp in over 60 holes, and 32 rounded corners on my storm windows. I kept putting off doing my project because I was hearing about how difficult it was to drill through plexiglass, and how susceptible it was to cracking while working with it. The fears were groundless with the 3/32" Lexan.
