Truck cap window in camper trailer?

[jwiereng]

Thinking of doing a homebuilt camper. Seems like nice windows are very costly.

Are the windows on typical truck caps suitable for campers? Sometime truck caps can be acquired at little or no cost.

ya thanks, seems all good to me, wonder why more folks try to buy a cap, just for the windows. You're right. Window have need to keep two things out, mozzies and rain, and let two things in, air and light.

Single glaze - lots of RV are only single also - probably not used for long spells in winter camping
