new cadet owner here

[b pilny]

hello everyone, I've owned my 86 cadet for 2 years and I love it. I'm looking for the same thing almost all cadet owners are and that is a front window, can anybody help? Thanks Bob

Welcome to FiberglassRV Bob, we're glad you found us. Now the bad news, as far as I know... no one has found a new front window for the Cadet on this side of the ocean. They're available in Europe... if you care to pursue that.

Here's a thread about it from 2008: http://www.fiberglassrv.com/forums/f...ows-35802.html

Possibly: Rear Kitchen Window (Freedom Jetsream) 126NTl



You may have to do a mental conversion as in order to sell the Polish Predom caravans (trailers) in Britain with the door on the left, the whole body is fitted back-to-front on the chassis!

But £230 is about US$370 and then the shipping adds more.

Thanks everybody, I guess it's time to put my thinking cap on.

Depending on where you are, for $375 you can get a spare with what appears to be a good front window. The rear window looks cracked.
Small Cadet Trailer 10 x 5 - Completely Gutted - Weekend Project - Ontario Travel Trailers, Campers For Sale - Kijiji Ontario Canada.

Another option is to take the measurement and get a normal trailer window made with sliding windows. Not original, but may be cheaper.

Ok, The job is completed. I found a new RV window that was 24x 48 with 3 crank open windows and it looks like it was factory inst. I just love garage sales. Thank you all for your ideas. Bob

Photos would be very nice, could help another Cadet owner.

Hi all, I posted a picture of the window on my profile page but as of yet I can't figure out how to move it over here

Thank you Donna, this site is great!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bob, did you have to trim any of the body of the window or was it a direct replacement? My front window is still fine, but always looking for good ideas.
Thanks
Len

Len, I had to remove all the rubber around the window then cut the hole slightly larger. After that it was just a matter of fitting the new window. Bob

Very nice! I know the window is a common problem and you solved it beautifully.
