Installing an RV Window in Your Cargo Trailer

In this video, Jack shows us how he installs HIS window in his Stealth Camper cargo trailer.

Jack has converted his cargo trailer into a fully functional camp trailer. Equipped with shower, hot water, refrigerator, and bar style kitchen, and plenty of counter and storage space. Give him a thumbs up!

Outstanding video. Installers ALWAYS tell you to NEVER do it your self. You made it look so simple, a "first timer", like me can do it. Thank you for explaining each step.

You appear to have cut through a vertical support rib about dead center in the window opening. Failing to support around that cut will bite you later since this is a structural member of the trailer frame. Also, you are depending on the thin paneling and foam insulation to support the sandwich squeeze of the trim ring and window. I have always used rigid framing or blocks to support this compression.

For the cut, try using a tool called a nibler. It is a tool use in the light metal trade and makes cut on metal sheets with accuracy working in a push pull fashion similar to a jig saw without all the grabbing that a blade can do distorting edges of the cut. Instead of a blade it uses a tiny reciprocating die, taking small bites leaving shavings in the shape of tiny halfmoons. Not very expensive.

A heartfelt thank you! Prior to this video, installing a window was rocket science.

You guys seemed to be good neighbors. Since I moved to FL decades ago, I hardly had them and in fact if I need anything I pay for it. I don't mind. But is always good to have good neighbors that helped each other. I miss that when I lived in P.R.

This is the best window installation I've seen. I'm using this technique on my trailer. THANK YOU!!

Great video! We're remodeling a retired bread truck into a tiny home, and are putting a window in. This is a HUGE confidence-booster. Thanks for taking time to reply to many of the commentors...it answered many of my questions!

Hi Guys! I want to thank you for posting this video! I've watched it at least 20 times. It gave me the confidence to install my own windows in my RV. Happy camping guys!

From the details I can see, the window is good for the right-side. During a rainy trip, pressurized air and water will enter in through the two pieces of the window. This is an aerodynamic issue. Thanks for sharing!

Last year I watched this to install a window on my custom camper build, and I just came back to watch again for my second window I’m putting in. Great video, thanks for the information. Trying to remember what size screw jack told us to use 😅

WOW I just picked up a Stealth trailer and my goal this winter is to install the insulation, electrical and the windows. Thanks so much for posting. Love the window frame!

GREAT VIDEO! I'm considering installing a couple of RV windows in my cargo trailer/hunting trailer conversion. Your instructional video is exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks for sharing!

[Stealthbobber]

I realize this is an older video, but i wanted to say nicely done. I am confident i can put my larger window in now. Thanks!

Window install looked great and the PBR was great choice as well

[salvispot]

Great tips! Also, I'm loving that B-2 decal up top.

Hi Al, Nice job on the window. Jack was very informative and his camper looks real nice. He’s doing a great job on it

[mikewrench_]

Nice work. Just bought my first enclosed trailer project and this was very helpful.

[duneme]

I like what you’ve done to the trailer and may have to check back!

great install, great video, kool camping trailer, /
i had to live in mine as tiny home so made 3 inch insulated walls, 1 inch rigid not bead in walls with 3/4 loose fit spray foam seal
then factory walls painted
and reinstalled with 1 more inch of rigid with seams caulked,
over the last foam put on thermal emergency blanket which reflects heat back in 99%
then with 3 inch # 10 self tap installed 7/16 inch chip board so can mount anything anywhere..
the only problem was every self tap screw had dot of moisture rest of wall 0 sweat, even in -40 f
single pain window iced up, never can find double pain???
3 inches of spray foam on the roof furred out with 1 x 4 angled truss, secured with pipe strap / 0.0 drip condensation..
hope this helped more to say, but cant type it too long...
