    Top job Mel! Checking the window and holding it up against the van before cutting a hole is the best advice! I've had windows turn up and the matrix finished way too early and paintwork on the van was showing, also check for minor damages too.

    My caravan windows from a well known auction site weren't drilled in the right places however I fitted one successfully. Went to do the 2nd; again not drilled in the right places! But low and behold, I drilled right through to the outside! Bit of good fun, this van conversion lark! Ha Ha. Easy fix though. Phew!

    Looks Great Mel! Yeah add's a lot of light back there, and air flow. It's on my list of add on's. I just picked up 3 10' pieces of aluminum unistrut for my roof rack. Yeah was more costly but the difference of 25lb roof rack vs 61 lbs roof rack swayed me. Just need some cedar boards to finish it off. I am making it mainly so I can use it for my awning lol.

    They are very nice Windows and I did look at the price of them previously, a bit rich for my budget camper and also bigger than I need though. I did however order one of the smaller rubber mounted non opening windows.
