I really like those wacky colors! :sombrero: Kind of has a little built in message; " Lets not get too wound up, this is supposed to be Fun!" I like that.

Thanks! We know it's not for everyone but lightening up a bit will be an important aspect of our trip.

I thought we had a good picture of one of them opened on our website, nope. I found this one on my phone:
They are the frame less crank out awning ones Sportsmobile uses by C.R. Laurence. We purchased both of them from Sportsmobile Texas and they were kind enough to also send us a template. There's a write up on our site about the install. It was the very first thing we did to the van. It came with two small windows so placement was already determined. Our suicide barn door could break the passenger side window if it is cranked all the way out and the door is swung hard. We probably would have moved it further back on the body if we got to choose its location. It is a great spot for cross ventilation though since we'll be installing a jack knife sofa under the drivers side window.

Sorry to respond so late, but can you open the crank/awning style windows when you drive? My AC doesn't help out any passengers in the back...

I installed mine right behind the driver's seat. I can contort enough to get my arm back there and open/close it while I'm driving.

Just read your question without being half asleep... I've driven with the window open a crack, but probably wouldn't chance it on the highway.

We agree. We don't open the awning windows when we are driving and don't think they are designed for that.
