    Looking for input designing a way to mount a very, very big window

    That sounds pretty cool. Propane is pretty expensive so you'd save there. I'd like to do solar too and would have enough space to stow panels and then set them out in the sun when setting up camp. I haven't seen those videos, its hard to watch some of them were the video is so narrow its like...

    Looking for input designing a way to mount a very, very big window

    I'm a freelance software developer and I'll be building software (tools) and living in it on public and government land like BLM and National Forests moving every 2 weeks. The trailer vs motorhome is hard because the motorhome would work better in dense forests and the trailer would work better...

    Looking for input designing a way to mount a very, very big window

    The insulating issue is an easier fix than removing a bearing part of a wall and replacing it with a window. However, I think if the structure is built well with a strong header, sill, hurricane grade slider and a solid outside cover that overlaps the slider frame it may work. It does get windy...

    Awesome an idea. I had pictured a custom piece of glass that flexes. Much like an office window in a high rise, they can flex a little. But the slider is a beauty. It would serve two purposes, a killer view and exit/entry. If the camper is on a trailer, then I'd have room to store a wooden stair...

    Looking for input designing a way to mount a very, very big window

    After seeing the articulation pics, the spring setup is certainly helping. I've been wondering if I should do a box on the back of the truck or a trailer setup. Do you think a trailer with a special hitch that allowed 360 degree movement like the Hitch-Ezy (Australian) would prevent a need to...

    Interesting. How did your uncle mount the box in order to let the frame flex below it?

    Looking for input designing a way to mount a very, very big window

    I'm planning a camper build on or behind a BMY M925A2. The idea is to work in the country in a camper that is mounted to the bed of the truck or on a trailer. The idea I'd like help with is mounting a window to enjoy the vast mountain views while sitting at a desk in front of a computer in the...
