We replaced the window on or 07 Grandby with a slider by this company. Pelland Enterprises. It was simple and they were very helpful with our measuring. The window does not leak at all. I have sprayed it full on with a hose many times. We plan to put one in our new Grandby that is on order. I talked to Four Wheel years ago about offering this window. I like the slider for airflow when it is raining outside our we are eating lunch in our camper on the road.

I was wondering if someone with a newer fleet shell could give me rough measurements of the front window? I am away from mine for a couple of weeks and I am interested in getting an estimate on an opening one. I have a 2019 fleet shell
Thanks,
Chris Walker

Contact Stan at FWC for the correct size.

Thanks for the info. I was wondering about this as well for the Grandby that we have on order. It would also be nice to have to be able to pass things through from truck to camper and vise-versa. I'm surprised FWC doesn't off it as an option.

They did at one time. My understanding is they had significant problems with leaking, especially when driving in the rain.Thanks for the info.

I have one in my older Eagle but never have even opened it. We usually have stuff packed against the front wall so couldn't get to it even if I wanted to open it.

Mine leaked. Replaced with a solid window. I think a better design would be no window. Warmer in cold weather and especially with a front dinette you can’t see anything out of anyway. My 2 cents.
Totally agree. Hence the cabinets at the front of my Puma build!

We have the slider on a '16 Hawk and on our '05 Tundra and enjoy the access between the truck and the FWC...no leaks but some condensation under the right conditions...just our experience but no "significant" leaks to be sure..curtain over slider at night gives insulation and privacy....
