Planning a trip to Elkhart later this week. My main need is windows. Am I likely to find them there and where do I want to go? Thanks

Elkhart is probably cheepest if you can find something that you can live with and in the right sizes.

The other one leaves deep gouges in your credit card... But always sized correctly and high quality.

Bruce: if you don't find what you need in Elkhart, try Storm-Tite Inc. in Winnipeg. I had mine custom made there in 02, & am very pleased.

Bruce;

RV surplus salvage had a good selection of RV windows in the warehouse. I would also check, the salvage located just up the road in MI.

The salvage place in White Pigeon MI has a lot full of windows and some are insulated. You will have to hunt for them. They are closed on Saturdays.

Bruce, Don't know what your time schedule is going to be, but I live about an hour from Elkhart. Maybe we could meet somewhere and talk buses. Click on my name on post for email etc.
