RV Window - Pain!

[RV-xasperated]

The slide type windows in my RV were sort of a "pain" to open. I found the surface area small enough to cause minor pain in my fingers when lifting them on the conventional latch/lift. Sometimes the window would slip and crash closed.
I made tabs that snap over the existing tabs that make opening and closing the slide windows easier and "safer".


Take a look and let me know what you think.


thanks

Brilliant!

Thank you! I made a short video on how to install -

Those are fantastic!

Are you planning to market them? I could use six of them.


Our slide windows are difficult at best to open and this looks like the perfect fix.


Be safe!

I agree! I would also be extremely willing to purchase some. The other thing I hate is the freaking screens. There are two of them that were out on my travel trailer when I bought it and I have never been able to figure out how to get them back in.

Where can I get those?

Those are perfect. Much better than this solution from 12 years ago. https://www.keystoneforums.com/forum...ead.php?t=8619
But where to get these?

oops, didn't realize! sorry, I thought since its free and want to distribute to RVers to see what they think, thought I was safe.

Hi RVX,

So then, you are someone who knows how to create new designs for 3D printers? My son got one some years back, but original design is beyond him -- he finds things to print in online libraries. The design skill is one I wish I had.

Unfortunately, my windows are the ones where the latch tabs are on top. I have to use one finger of each hand to pull the latch in, and the other three jammed inside the top slot to lift. It's truly an epic battle -- I have to rub down all the channels and gaskets with hard paraffin several times a year just to improve the process to "tough." DW absolutely cannot work those windows no matter how I lube them.

These should help!
On the 3d stuff, I started my modifying what I found, then slowly started learning CAD software that allowed me to design my own stuff. I didn't want to learn anything new, but it just happened! lol

I can't imagine how they would attach. The mechanisms don't seem at all compatible.

[RV-xasperated]

yes, correct! These don't work with this style of window tab. I will try to find an RV window like this and design a solution.

Please see the photos - you are correct these only work for the tabs mounted in the "inside" of the frame.

AGREED!!! i hate our widows, there must not be any wheels on the bottom to help the opening...
