Looking into this for my bar shed. Thanks for the video! Super helpful. We’re going to install ourselves. The link you have listed says glass not included. Did you find one with the foggy white glass?
Yes you can cut providing that you reinforce the area. You’re absolutely right in that it loses some of its structural integrity, so definitely important to reinforce afterwards
Great Video and GREAT job!!! Would it be possible to take out the aluminum and put in a piece of plexiglass? I want to buy this and have it function as a window when it is closed.....what is the thickness of the metal sheet? So odd they sell this but they do not sell glass for it? Thanks for your help! Cheers!
Thank you so much for the amazing comments! I’m sure if there is a will, there is a way! I believe they now sell these windows on Vevor with the interior window already installed!
@@poormansfoodtruck really? Ive been looking and trying to fig out a way for it to function as a window too! Only thing thats holding me back. It looks great! Would be so much better of it was clear on the inside. U happen to know where on the website they have these as a window?
Thank you for the feedback, my goal was to try and keep the videos as short as possible, and honestly, I was worried about screwing it up. Now I feel more confident after doing a couple, I wish that I did. Definitely check out Frank Baltierrez though as I basically did exactly what he did but on a smaller scale
I'm having the same issue right now. My first plan is going to be to put some weather stripping above the hinge to deflect water. I'm not sure if the window raising will allow that to work or whether it'll warp the weather stripping or cause it to come loose. But that's my first plan. Plan B is to try to add a gasket/seal to the inside of the hinge to see if it creates a seal. Plan C (least preferred) will be to drill weep holes in the bottom track where the water pools for it to leak outside. I say least preferred because I don't know if the product is solid so drilling a hole might not be helpful. And it's a lot easier to take away metal than put it back, lol. Let me know if you came up with a solution.
I have the same window, it leaks because they don’t continue the gasket where the hinge meets the window (on the window not the trailer side). Does anyone else know how to fix that?
I used fairly basic tools (mostly an oscillating tool for the inside, and a angle grinder for the outside). Check out my second window installation video on the channel for some more specifics!
There it goes, little by little 👍 So, did you move because on this video I noticed you are in a backyard and I remember your first video when you bought the trailer you may have problems with HOA.
Absolutely! Yes sir we did in fact move to a place that has no HOA (specifically for the purpose of keeping our trailer on our property). Thank you so much for your support!
@@poormansfoodtruck not sure yet. It got delivered today. Spoke to their call center. Supposedly they will be reaching out by tomorrow morning. No word yet. Hoping they just replace it. I’m not going through the hassle of trying to fix it.
Yes unfortunately my first window had this issue. However since then I have purchased a few different products and they’re all been delivered without defect 🙏🏻
Dang! That’s a lot of cheddar for a window! After I installed, it rained super-heavy here in FL for 4/5 days straight. Checked the window afterwards and no leaks in sight 👍🏻 glad I could help!
They do have awesome products for sure! Unfortunately out of my price range though. Stayed tuned to the channel - I will be installing the second window I just received in the next few days 🙌🏻🚚
Great video! You were simple in your explanation of how to do actually do the job. I have the same window, same size. Thanks!
Love the feedback thank you so much! And good luck with yours, if I can help in any way just shoot me a messsge 👍🏻

The metal beams in the trailer, it’s okay to cut those? Won’t it have less vertical support?
Yes you can cut providing that you reinforce the area. You’re absolutely right in that it loses some of its structural integrity, so definitely important to reinforce afterwards
How do you reinforce the area after cutting out the vertical studs ? I have a 6x10 trailer and same window

Good show bro
What did you use to cut out window? Inside and outside material?
Used oscillating tool to cut the plywood on the inside, and an angle grinder with a 41/2 metal wheel for the aluminum skin on the outside
It would have been nice to SEE him CUT the Window out.

Did yours leak? I got the same type window but mine lets in water where the hinge is.

well done thank you
Thank you! 🙏🏻
What tools did you use to cut aluminum and metal poles?
I used an angle grinder to cut both the struts and the outside aluminum
Did your window come with the latches inside the frame to lock it already installed or did I get a faulty window?
Mine doesn’t have a “lock” on the inside, but one the handle swings downward from inside the trailer, it is fully secured
What tool/tools that you used for cutting the wall
I used fairly basic tools (mostly an oscillating tool for the inside, and a angle grinder for the outside). Check out my second window installation video on the channel for some more specifics!

we ordered the same window, only ours came with the screens installed. came cracked in the exact same spot lol
No way! Must be a frequent issue I guess! Were you able to get some money back at least?

I wish you good luck! You might get some push-back for a while but stick to your guns!
Nice window, do you not need screen per your health dept
Great question - Yes! I will be installing additional sliding screens per FL requirements. Video to follow soon!
Use butyl tape and you can skip on the silicone.
Is crazy all the vemo product comes with a dent

i need this window..the guy who will build it for us says the window is $2500..and it's small as hell. thank you!
Dang! That’s a lot of cheddar for a window! After I installed, it rained super-heavy here in FL for 4/5 days straight. Checked the window afterwards and no leaks in sight 👍🏻 glad I could help!
@Nicolas Fagundez dang, I just checked. All their concession windows are sold out. Thanks buddy.
They do have awesome products for sure! Unfortunately out of my price range though. Stayed tuned to the channel - I will be installing the second window I just received in the next few days 🙌🏻🚚
@@poormansfoodtruckyea out of my price range too!
I'm waiting for you, let's go!
Love it!! Coming soon my friend, very soon!!
I have installed one of this window but it doesn't lock what is the reason
They only come installed with the internal handle for locking, is that what you’re referring to? If you can send pics via the Instagram channel
