Fixed window replacement question

[frisbeekev]

I havea bunk setup in my travel trailer. The top bunk window is small and does not open. Iam looking to replace it with one the same size but that opens,as we camp at the beach with no hook ups and need more air up there. Has anyone ever attempted this? Any tips?

Is this on the front of the trailer, as opposed to the side or the back?

I would worry some about water intrusion when driving in the rain if it's a window on the front of the trailer (and there's no protective cover or something over it). Otherwise, it should be a pretty straightforward if possibly awkward job. RV windows typically are held in place with a clamp ring on the inside with a plethora of screws, and the outside sealed with butyl tape or some very similar caulking material under the flange.

I have never done it but, I would not hesitate to try. I don't think it's any more difficult than replacing/installing Windows in a S&B. I've done that many times.

Do a Google search for 'RV Replacment Windows', you will see what is available.
Did you check YouTube? I'm sure you will find videos on replacing RV Windows.
