Larry,
I just install a set of 6 windows from these people. Door and side
small side window are the same size. They are left and right
orientated. Ordered on a thursday and they were delivered on Monday.
Price includes shipping. Good looking windows, they have a 30 tint
which is not quite as dark as what was on the original windows but
what's legal. They fit well, just take your time and get them aligned
in the windows openings. But sure and get the butyl rubber seal tape
from them also.

Larry:

I obtained all new windows for my 78 Royale from them in 1997 and installed them.
They do wonders for a panoramic view out of the coach. No more vertical mullion
and half the window obscured by the screen any more. Unless you see a comparison
of the new with the old, you won't believe it.

Yes the door window is included.

has anyone had any experience with Motorhome Enhancements for window
replacement? They advertise the complete set of 6 tinted side windows (must
include the door?) for $1,260 (in GMCMM). I really do need to think about
this. Larry in MO, PB75
 
John:

The original windows were not tinted.

You must have hit it lucky on delivery and the warehouse had some in stock.

At the time I ordered mine, I had to take a number and learned that the
manufacturer, CR Laurence, does not continuously produce them. As I understand
it, they have a production line that makes a run on certain windows on a scheduled
basis.

Side window sizes on the GMC are a combination of 2', 3', and 5'.

I am a huge fan of getting a bargain when possible, and I am going to get into
trouble for doing this, but. The more I get involved in the GM motor home ideal
the more I believe in, support the supporters. This is not intended as a plug.
The guys doing the work with the windows deserve the support of GM owners. Their
prices are very reasonable and they do back up, completely what they sell. I
know, I am the only complainant for the windows thus far. They went out of their
way to make me happy and because of it I have regained some of my faith in the
free enterprise system. I agree that there is room for improvement in products
and people like Tom Warner and his bearing puller get credit for what they have
done. Leigh Harrison and his four bag suspension also get credit. There are many
products like this which deserve our support. If the windows sold by these guys
were severely overpriced I would agree in another angle, but they are not. IMO.
Again, I agree, bargain hunting has its place, but so do the people who support
our cause. Respectfully Darren

I saw these windows at the Ashville Convention. They are beautiful. There
isn't very much ventilition, though. If you run mostly in cold weather, or
never open your sliding glass anyway, they do look good.

I assume this is the package that was put together by a couple of GMC
Dixielanders. Nice looking windows altho in my opinion I feel they
actually cut down on air circulation. The set does include windows for
the door and the galley.

A couple of months ago, someone offered a complete set of windows that had been
refirb. and was willing to take them to a rally. Maybe they are still available.
