OOP's --- did not notice this post when it hit so I am a little late. There are all sorts of ways to get the corners to the right radius, --- the right ways --- and my way. I hunted up a dish cover that was the same curvature as my windows. I looked a little stupid rummmaging through our store of dishes, jar tops etc but eventually found the two curvatures I needed. When I told DW what I was doing she started helping me find something so she could make sure I did not saw her good dishes. My reassurances that I was not going to saw her dish weren't worth much. A couple of smooches and she was ready to sacrifice a dish. I then traced the corner with a felt tipped Sharpie pen and cut with the Sabre saw. The dish is living happily everafter:)
I have not done my door yet but that is next. I would have ordered enough plastic to do it all if I had been confident in working with the material. After experience the ease of this project using Lexan, the door will be a piece of cake. I am going to do mine in 3 pieces so as to be able to take down sections.

I finally got around to installing my backup camera this weekend. I've been putting it off for months. I was going to run the wire through the ceiling but even with a fishtape it was too much trouble. I ended up going out the bottom of a cabinet (behind a set of drawers) and then under the trailer and along the frame.
I had to put the camera above my clearance lights (since that was where the open space was above the ceiling) so I ended up making two Lucite spacers to make room for the camera to point down and to eliminate glare from the center clearance light.
After drilling the holes (gasp) and getting the bolts, it was just a matter of attaching the camera (along with a generous helping of silicone).
It works great and I can't wait to use it on our next trip.

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. .....
