Woo Hoo They Are Going to Fit!

"Yes!"

That's me responding to an e-mail message from Teardrop Trailer Parts when I found out that the window will fit into my hatch opening!  My friend Larry and I traded a few e-mails today discussing whether there would be any structural issues.  Larry, agreed with me, that these would bring in a lot of light into the cabin.  I will need to do a slight trim of the aluminum of the doors, but things should fit.  Plus, the gasket on the window will compensate for any slight imperfections.  The only thing I did not quadruple check is the radius. 

I want to add these drop caps to my order.  With the window in its place, this will help push that rain away from the seal.

I'm so happy that this is going to work! 

Looking forward to a productive weekend; lots and lots of rivets to remove and a few coats of paint on the interior floor!

Possible Window?

I can't believe it.  In a random exploration of Pintrest, I may have found a teardrop window that will fit into my door.  I was looking for a door that would fit the hole in my teardrop, but ended up finding what may be a perfect window.  I will need to measure again at home, but this baby might just fit!

If it fits, or even if it is extremely close, I may consider cutting, or having cut the opening.  This would be incredible if I could get it to work!  The measurements are listed as 21" x 14."   I know for sure that the cut out for the hatch is 14" by 20"  It might be possible to have the door cut even larger to fit the window.  Man I hope this might work because it would be so much nicer to have a window than a 'hatch!'

I've sent an e-mail to the company with some photos of my hatch and I've measured several times. It seems doable.  Now, I just have to wait.
