Re: [VAL] Lexan windows



I am of the opinion that lexan windows would be preferable to the Corning
glass windows. I have talked to people who had theirs break while
travelling, including the PO of my trailer. I am still finding glass inside.
They do not just break because they have been hit by a rock, some of them
have just shattered going down the road. Since I plan to use my trailer a
lot, I am afraid that if one of these were to bust while we were travelling,
it could really ruin our trip. Just think of one breaking during a
rainstorm, but I don't know because we're on the road while the water is
getting in, and the glass going all over inside! If I could get an
unbreakable plastic like lexan to replace them with, assuming it would fit
good and seal well, I would rather do that. I don't really care about the
value, because I don't plan on selling it for a long time. I'm just more
concerned about the practicallity.
