Re: [VAL]Storm windows

["Roy Lashway" <rlashway@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ran into a traveler with a 75' AS and he had fabricated storm windows 
from light weight, hardware store quality clear plastic.  Using the 
window screen frame as a guide he cut out a cardboard pattern and then 
cut out the plastic storm window.  When he replaced the screen frame he 
left out a screw at top and bottom.  Having previously marked these 
screw holes in pattern he drilled out a screen hole in the plastic 
storm.  He could then screw the plastic storm window on to the window 
screen frame thru these holes.   These middle 70"s trailers had a 
slight curve to the walls at the window so two screws could hold the 
storms on quite tightly with tension provided.  He had used some thin 
insulating tape originally but later found this was not really 
necessary.  When he was in warmer climate he  stored them under the  
bed mattress. He  had slight condensation at the bottom of the windows 
which dissipated during the day.  He claimed significant propane
gas savings when he traveled in north country in the late fall.
