Well I had quite a surprise in the Palm Beach today!
After a couple inches of rain over night I guess the glue on the
window over the dinette just let go. This is the the statioary window
not to moveable one. I just started off about 3 miles in and doing
about 45 mph on small stretch of highway and the window literally
flipped around and smashed the next pane back ( the one that slides).
What a sound, what a mess and all while it was pouring out? I
immediately pulled over and saved the forward pane the had flipped
around and smashed the other.

..So I have a big hole in the side of my coach and need the slidable
pane of a big window.

Don't know how it goes in either but --- I will start off by trying to
acquire another window. Unless you all suggest something else?

Thanks as always in advance and guess the toilet will have to wait??

Gene Dotson and Jim Buchanin (Motorhome Enhancements) sell replacement windows, though they are not the same design as the original. I think that they are also available through the two Jims.

I don't think you will have any problems buying a window. Many folks have upgraded the windows and have them lying around.

Eden,

We have found several passenger side large windows with no sealant in the front top corner that leaked from the factory. You can take off the inside trim and see daylight through that corner. This also leads to paneling damage and rotting out the floor boards under the window. If anyone has that problem, you might want to take a look.
