In this video I install a window into the man door of my new enclosed trailer. I use this trailer as a toy hauler when we go camping so it is nice to be able to get some natural light inside during the day and peek out if you hear something.

Thanks for watching! Please do me a favor and subscribe if you haven't already!
i was fortunate and watched a window video and the host said to be sure to order for the specific wall/door thickness. Nice recovery for that oversight!
Haha yeah, Thanks for tuning in!
This was a great video. I will say the best part was that I just told my wife I dont think this is going to work right and instantly BEEEEP! It gave us a good laugh. Thanks for the vid.
Haha thanks Roger! Pretty rare for things to go smooth around here! Thanks for the comment!
Such a stress bomb cutting into the door. I do want a window without the 5/8" shim. Nice job.
Haha, there's no going back after
Good job! You take the time to demonstrate step-by-step how it's done. Now to mine!
Thanks Walt! I appreciate it! Good luck!
How thick was you door? It be nice to find a window that was the right thickness. Thanks for the video.
I installed the same window in my travel trailer. Worked perfectly. Always scary making that cut! Nice job. -Ed
Thanks for watching Ed! Sure works nice when it's in there right haha! That's for sure not something to mess up. Catch ya later!
Great window installation, I like the way you made it fit. It looks like a lot of work but a good job done. The trailer looks really good with the window installed. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching bud! Have a good weekend!
nice save, you did a lot of work on this guy
Haha thanks, yeah I made it just to do some makeshift camping out of. Ac/heat, put in a ceiling with 12volt lights and still able to fit the sxs in for trips. Thanks for tuning in and commenting!
Why is there a small battery located near the tongue ? Thx
I'm assuming you are referring to your trailer. More than likely you have trailer breaks. The battery is for in the event your trailer disconnects from your tow vehicle the breakaway wire gets pulled and it will use the battery to actuate the brakes.
@@Tyler_Koehn Yes I discovered that you are correct. Im sure my battery is dead because trailer has been sitting for years. I did read that state police could possibly test that if you are pulled over….thx
Thanks for the video. I'm still trying to find a trailer. I think I know which window I won't be using. I like how much faster you work once you're beyond the initial cut.
Haha thanks Jon! Yeah a lil fast forward really speeds things up! Good luck with your trailer build!
Nice save! You did a heck of a job, getting it to fit right! It turn out really nice looking! Have a good week my friend!
Thanks buddy! Been working great just needed a tweak to get it even better! Have a good one too! Keep up the hard work!
Right on Tyler, turned out great. Project ain't no fun if there's no unexpected bumps in the road, lol.
Thanks Buddy! I think I could handle a lot less fun! hahaha
Underrated channel man, keep up good work.
Thanks bud! I truely appreciate that!
Dude, is there anything you can’t do? It’s what makes your channel great!
Thanks Thomas! Well I'm to cheap to pay someone, so If i dont know how, I'm gonna learn, more then likely the hard way! hahaha Thanks for watching bud!
Well, keep doing what you are doing. I don’t even own an enclosed trailer and I feel I could install a window now from what you showed me. The only difference is I would curse so much TH-cam would block me.
@@thomaswilliams2253 LMAO Thanks buddy!
Great window installation Sir 👍😊 Sir did you consider to put a plexiglass over the shades for dust protecting ? Have a great week Sir and keep up the work Sir Cheers !!!
Thanks for watching buddy! Not to sure how I would make it work with the blind needing to function and without sandwiching it. Might have to look into that though. On the flipside its been a year and still haven't dusted it hahaha. Have a good one bud!
@@Tyler_Koehn Oupss, you are correct on how to move the blinds,,,, 🤣 I forgot that little but important detail,,,, 🤣 Thank you Sir Cheers !!!
@@RCAFpolarexpress haha yes sir have a good night!
Thanks for the vid. Been contemplating a window in the door as my passenger side behind it will be taken up by murphy bed. Could the inside ring flange have been cut to make for less depth, instead of adding the wood trim ?
No problem John! For this window because the depth is for the built in window shade to slide in it would not be possible. I think the door is a great spot for it as no wall real estate is lost! Thanks for watching!
I bought the exact window for my trailer. So, do you feel you should have gone alittle thinner on the shim? I didnt realize there would be a thickness issue when I ordered it.
Hey there, yea I guess I just assumed it would be adjustable. No, I'm pretty sure what I did was the minimum in order for the window to grab properly.
Looks like you put it in backwards. My trim ring goes on on the inside
This window has a built in curtain. Not sure how it could be backwards as the curtain would be on the outside.
I was thinking of installing a window in my door. I am either going to go with the one you used or one that opens for ventilation. If you could do it again would you go with one that opens?
Honestly I have no regrets, however if I didn't have a air conditioner in mine I would probably feel differently about it. Haha
@@Tyler_Koehn Do you have an AC video? What style AC did you go with?
I went with a portable ac unit with heat. Just have it in the v of the trailer and drilled a hole in the floor for the exhaust tube. Sooner or later I'll get around to making a video of it
Wonder if silicone would work too
I would imagine it would
I had the same issues with a doggie door installation on my home. After I used the template, I realized the thickness of the door was insufficient. I had to replace the entire door and find another doggie door. Basically, the manufacturer lied about the product.
Ouch, yea that pretty much sums up the story of my life haha. At least these guys didn't lie about the min/max thickness, they just dont tell you lmao. Thanks for watching!
How did you put the latch /deadbolt on the door?
Wish I could help but this trailer actually came with the rv latch from the factory.
How wide is that door?
30"
Why would you not insulate your door? A chain is only as strong as its weakest link the same applies with insulation
Walls in the trailer are not insulated either. Only the ceiling. This was not a crazy trailer build. Ac keeps up without a hiccup in 95deg weather. If this was a end game trailer for me I would have stripped it down and insulated it all. But not when it's only used 6 times a year for camping
@@Tyler_Koehn I guess your comment " you dont typically insulate the door" threw me off. most people who build these insulate as much as possible.
@@exjw8623 I gotchya no worries 👍
Is that a Cargomate trailer?
Continental cargo. Made by forest river just like the cargomate.
@@Tyler_Koehn Looks identical to my Cargomate. I have not installed a window into the door yet and want to do it this summer. I did a full camper conversion to mine and love it!
@@CarlFiocca that's awesome. I've seen some really nice conversions that save a ton of money over a camper. This is kinda inbetween for me. Plan is to get a 8.5x22or so and build into a toy hauler. This one works good for the time being and will continue to be great as a utility trailer. Hope you learned from my mistake on the thickness. Should be smooth ⛵ for you!
@@Tyler_Koehn I definitely did learn. That is the main reason I have not done it yet. I do have a build video on my page if you are interested on seeing what mine turned into. 8.5x22 will be an awesome build.
@@CarlFiocca good deal I'll check it out and give you a subscribe!
Yes kinda confusing
Sorry
