Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

how hard (i.e. expensive) would it be to install a bigger window?


today I had the huge upper cabinet over the kitchen sink removed and already it makes a world of difference in the 'feel' of the space.  it's so much more open and I'm really looking forward to doing dishes without having to bend in half and/or smacking my head on the thing.

Now I can see just how tiny the sink window truly is, and wonder if it's feasible to replace that window with a taller window.

Assuming of course there are no electrical or plumbing issues above the current window, is it like stick built homes in terms of adding a larger window?

I want to be sure I can't do it before I decide to do something else in that space. 

and where would I shop for a window?

Btw, my rv service guy used to build rvs, so if it can be done he can do it---but he's away right now so I'm asking you guys.

Not a problem for an experienced RV guy....even electric and plumbing can be rerouted....Google -RV Windows.....you will have many choices...also search used, surplus RV windows....good luck.

We're adding a window in the kitchen area to a trailer that has no windows at all on that side of the rig. Lots of web sites can get you a custom built window and you pay a custom amount of money. We're looking at other RVs to find the preferred size and intend to contact the manufacturer of the source RV and try to buy a window from their stock. We're also contacting local dealerships in an attempt to find an RV graveyard and scavenge for parts. I can always refurbish the steel framework, if needed.
