New window in door The best !

[IAMICHABOD]

I was going to replace the frosted glass in the door with tinted glass and a new plastic frame, but with the cost of the glass and frame plus shipping I could, for a few bucks more I get this neat window that opens and doesn't have a cheap plastic frame that has to be replaced every few years and it matches the rest of the windows in the RV.

This is the best replacement window yet, the EDWIN by Atwood.
At Easy Windows

Why didn't the MFG put these in to begin with? Instead of the cheezy plastic rimed things?

Privacy glass and it opens, easy install as shown here and looks just like the rest of the windows in the MH.

The frames come in black or white.

(on edit see mine on page 4)

Just a note along the same lines of replacing the crappy door window. I took my crappy looking old door to the auto body shop. I had to drive my fiver past the shop where they used some sort of camera held up to the outside wall, which gave them the color match. After they painted it, it matched perfectly. I am as pleased as punch. They charged me #100, but I took the door off and removed all the hardware before taking it to them. I also did all the reinstall work.

What a GREAT Idea,It is setting in the garage right now.

Hey they look good even on an old RV. I found this one on a 1984
Class C. Makes it look like a much newer one.

The window dosn't come with a screen.Most are installed in the door of a motorhome or camper that have a screen door.

I see no reason that it can't be rotated and used that way.

There may be a screen that they make that will fit the person to ask is.

OK, I have had mine for a couple weeks now and I would never have another RV with the cheap leaky plastic bezel stock window again, if I could avoid it by having a quality product like this one!

That is nice to know.

I wonder if anyone is dis satified with their's. Or if they they all worked out for them.

I don't get the "slider window" part. I have a screen door. There's no easy access to the slider when both doors are closed. The privacy tinting is great - BUT - does it block the heat from the sun? I have reflective foil permanently velcro'd to the window. I think I'd rather have an entry camera over the door with a monitor inside AND no window at all.

I thought I was the only one confused...I am not sure of the value of having a window that will open? If you have a screen door, most do, it won't really do much for ya. Wonder if they have one that doesn't open?

That said, I have always wondered why they even put windows on RV doors. You can't see out of them, and they don't put out enough light inside to make a difference, I prefer it darker to keep it cool inside since we usually camp in the summer.

The window does look far superior to the cheap ones already installed. I doubt I will replace mine as it still looks new but will save this for future use in case I never need to!

I think those windows are used throughout the camper as replacements. While you certainly could choose to utilize an opening window in the door, opening windows are probably offered because they might be placed anywhere in the camper, and often we wish those other windows to open... Just a guess.

They do look like an incredible upgrade...love the look of them.

I have one of these windows in my door. It does have a screen, but it's setup to work up and down, not side to side. But the company who makes this windows makes different windows for different purposes.
