Fitting windows

[888dee]

Not a problem as such but looking for some advice,

I want to fit a window between the hab. door and the front of the body it brighten a dark corner and improve visability at junctions, roundabouts etc

outside

inside

a fixed window would be the preference, thoughts people?

fitting a window

you could fit a window from a van rear door looks about the size but its not a job to do unless your a competent diy,r . a seitz window would be easier but there expensive. fixed window is cheaper but you would have to make good on the inside.

well I've seen this

the actual fitting doesn't phaze me at all, already carried out some fairly extensive repairs on the bus and more to do,

Can't help with the window other than when you cut the hole you will need to to dig out a bit of the insulation between the inner and outer wall skins and bond in some wood spacers. so the window, if it is the screw clamp type does not distort the side wall

I notice your bus is LHD. A trick I use is to swivel the interior rear view mirror around so that I get a view out of the passenger side window slightly rearwards. (I have no sraight line vision out of my van's rear window so the RVM was useless anyway

had thought about strengthening the opening john but using the RVM like that, never thought of that
