Hey Guys,
I want to let you all know that we have a new shipment of RV / overland build components coming in mid February. During our recent trip to China, we had a chance to see and test a number of items that looked great for Overland use. We now have two entry door offerings, and both...
Well,
Since we are the only importer of this type of window, I assumed this statement was a direct reference to us: "Cost was 130 per window, still a lot less than found here". "here" is us. You also made an earlier reference to EuroVision, who builds our windows. This was what brought my...
confusion
Just so there is no confusion, neither of these windows are the units that we carry. The Xuhe windows are a lower cost and quality window designed for the Chinese domestic vehicle industry. Xuhe is not a window manufacture, they build vehicles. The windows they are selling are...
I would urge you to talk to Andreas at Total Composites. First, he offers fiberglass extrusions in addition to aluminum. The fiberglass eliminates cold bridging. Second, the extrusion construction is stronger. Third, the formulation used in the fiberglass skins that TC uses are not...
Recce01,
I just realized I did not answer your question about window opening angle. The windows open a maximum of 60 degrees. That is because the struts are designed to lock at different angles. To close the window you must push beyond 60 degrees to release the struts. If the struts...
Absolutely. If you find the products through TC, order through TC. That is true whether you get these products with a TC kit, or get the products alone. Whether you order through TO or TC, the pricing, shipping cost, service, options, and warranty will be the same.
Yes, Andreas and I are working together. We will be supplying the windows for his kits, so that he can do what does best....build world class composite panels and kits. His pricing will be the same as ours, so you should order your windows with your kit. We will handle all of the warranty...
You might want to have a look at the windows we carry. They offer everything you are looking for. The windows are awning design and very high quality. They are built in China from the best parts sourced from around the world. The blind / screen assemblies can be installed with the blind on...
The attachment to the window has the strut and the latch attaching at the same substantial connection. It is definitely not a weak point. You can see it in this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ5m7lCxSL4
I don't have a picture handy of the semi-lock position, but the window pops out...
These windows have a "semi-lock" position designed specifically to secure the window in high wind and allow ventilation. The screens are fine in wind. Obviously, high wind can be very destructive to ANY window. Common sense should be used if you plan to leave the windows wide open. You do...
Hi,
My understanding is that a distributor is getting set up to sell these windows in Canada, yes. I suggest you contact Andreas at Total Composites. Tell him we sent you.
personally, I would skip the oven. I like a small stove that can be used inside or out. This one is my current favorite: https://www.gasoneus.com/collections/portable-stoves/products/gs-800
It is well made, inexpensive, small, light, dual fuel, and very reliable. You may want a more...
If you want a propane furnace, I would stay away from Suburban, and recommend Atwood instead. The "Everest" model is much quieter, and more efficient. Suburbans use a cheap and loud propeller fan, while Atwood uses a squirrel cage fan. Also, use an electronic thermostat, not the mechanical...
Your friend has a point, BUT, the kind of failures most likely to need welding are fatigue related. Those failures usually happen over a long period of time. They can be detected way in advance. Regular inspection should be routine for anyone spending time in the outback, or away from...
Ramdough,
Thanks for the question. At the moment we do not have the shades as a separate item. The factory does not sell them to us that way. However, we will probably have them from time to time. We recently had a customer inquire about buying windows without blinds because the blinds...
As John alluded to, many fabricators simply attempt to replace steel with aluminum without taking into account the engineering requirements. Aluminum welds do not generally handle fatigue as well as steel, so bolting and riveting for some joints that are subjected to high stress is a better...
Mark,
We are sympathetic to the problems you have had obtaining replacement parts! It's extremely difficult to even get replacement parts in the US from some manufacturers, at any price. We are working with our factory to secure parts for our EuroVision windows, and if necessary we may...
