Opening Door window

Post by HappyCamper »

Does anyone know of the availability of a replacement window (17.25-18.6 Wide x 21 - 22.5" Tall) for the solid one in the door of my 2000 Concourse which will open, allowing more ventilation of the coach? If so, has anyone had any experience installing one?

I usually just leave the door open, with the screen door closed. I assume everyone have a screen door, right?

Thanks, chin, That works during the day, but, I'm nervous about leaving the door open at night. Looking for a way to increase air circulation when not hooked up to power without draining the house batteries running fans. Would love to find the right size window that will open and, possibly have a shade to pull down at night. Don't seem to find any on the internet. Jim

I purchased Skeeter Beaters. Attach to cab, roll down front windows and get more air flow without bugs.

Hi. Do those Skeeter Beater screens stay on in high winds? I was sitting somewhere in OK and the wind at night was like 30 with gusts over 45 - are the magnets strong enough, do you think the screens would stay on, or slip open?

Thanks,
Bob

Magnets are strong and many Magnets per door. I have used in winds around 25mph with no issues.
