....this is the only way to keep rain from being blasted in through those weep holes. I don't recall any RV I've ever looked at not having weep holes through to the inside of the camper (exception: the new Euro-style Lexan hatch-style windows sometimes an option; and a few non-opening door and view windows).
When we had stored our camper outdoors over last winter (for the 1st time), I anticipated near-hurricane force monster snowstorms pounding all the windows of our camper over the 7 months of winter up here (14 of these storms in total over last winter). So, bought a tube of weather-sealant caulking, and filled every weep hole with the stuff (the material is crystal clear);min spring, I just peeled it off the weep holes (in less than 15 minutes), and no issues.
You could use this easily removable stuff to block the weep holes in your existing bulk-head window, whenever you are on the road (or, why not permanently?). - TimberBoyExplorer

Why do you want a different window?
I am looking for a true pass through window which is fully removable like lance uses which allows access from the Truck to the truck camper
Northwoods window is not fully removable and only allows for visibilty and ventilation.
Any other ideas?
Thanks, Nolan
I looked a Lance camper. The window has segi on the glass. - sleepyExplorer

As silversand posted in another thread... Hurricane 1 winds are 76 mph...
If your TC's combined forward speed and the head winds that are pushing through combine for more than 76 mph the aera between your cabover hitting the bulkhead are creating hurricane force conditions,,, then, throw in some rain... you can see where this is going,
Your pass through window like all of the other windows that open will have weep holes. The hurricane forces winds containing rain will force their way through to the lower pressure area that exists inside your camper...
That'll be the source and cause... (along with a little water through the channel between the slide window and the frame)
My solution... I sealed the drain holes.
And I have had a foam rubber boot around the window since new. - silversandExplorer"The Atwood Aftermarket Window Group manufactures replacement and custom windows for most types of Recreational or Specialty Vehicles.

Probably worth saying ,because someone just joins as a screen name dosent mean they might not have been here previously and changed it
And dosent mean they haven't had more TC experience than anyone here
I joined in 2003 and after a while of not checking in ,forgot my screen name and had change e-mail and couldn't find it . Had to resign up:S
:D Mostly a lurker. I saw the post, I had a Northwood, and since I have some experience when it comes to replacing windows... POW! My first post! If there's a door prize let me know where I can pick it up :B - okan-starExplorer
