Any recommendations on pre built doors and windows?

[Flameffects]

I need my side door and windows before I start framing my FUSO build. My walls will be 2x2 aluminum so frames need to work with my build. There is lots of doors and windows available but I can't really tell the quality. Anyone with recommendations please speak up. If you really had a bad experience with a product I would like to know that too.

Suggest looking at http://www.outbound.eu/en/windows.php. Have thought of replacing the windows in mine a few times, these would be what I'd use. They're a little pricey but I think worth it (just from the ones I've seen).

Otherwise Dometic Seitz

Outbound For sure. They are worth the investment and by far best quality of what's available. I harsh I had bought my door from them. They also size to your wall size so I was able to meet my exact thickness.

The covers look awesome to avoid putting those scratches from queezing pass trees.
Nice product.

What wall thickness are you going with. I am not 100% set but am leaning heavily towards 2".

It appears that Outbound gets the thumbs up from everyone that responded. Are folks building their own doors?

Ive (re)built a few RV doors int he past.

There isn't much to them, and building them yourself really lets you build them how they should be built.

The door on my custom camper was built from an old "sticks and staples" door that I nabbed for nothing from the local RV repair shop's scrap pile.


The door closes like an refer door after tearing it apart and doing it right :ylsmoke:


I can post some photos of the process if interested.

As salvaged from the bone-pile

torn apart for

Then rebuilt using clear hemlock, XPS Foam and PL Premium Adhesive

Skins applied and bonded to the XPS and framing

And epoxy coated

Then painted later and installed in its designated location :sombrero:

We are about to bring in acrylic windows and doors. Still working out the finer details but should have pricing and specs available in a couple weeks.

I've been playing with diy covers for our Dometic windows. To give some shade when fully open and avoid re-radiation of heat. Hadn't thought of solid, or security. Scratching with acrylic always a problem - I hate polish. Square edges catch tree branches, rounded / chamfered have been better for me.

Whatever you do, DON'T go for www.all-rite.com. Long story short: The heavy duty model they make would not even qualify as light duty in my book. Dimensions were messed up. Hinges very low quality. Locks are the cheapest they could find.
I replaced all 4 with home made ones.

DON'T go for www.all-rite.com.Long story short:

Somehow the url got attached with the word '.Long' in the end to make it non-functional. It does work without it though.

There's Challenger and Motion Windows.

What about skylights? Any word on carrying these as well?
