  1. i have a mobile guild coach trailer and i need yo replace the windows
    three are 19×30 ‘one is 19×30 .i have seen some on the net. can you help?

    1. Hey Brandie , we are looking for the small hehr window its 7″ x 15″ roll out. Thanks so much. Tim

  2. I actually found my glass for my windows online from Home Depot. I too had looked everywhere and was so glad to find some.

  3. Just bought a Shasta and I don’t know what year it is. Is there a way to find out the year? And where is the serial number on these Camper? Thanks!!!

    1. The serial number is usually on the tongue of the trailer. Some of them have name plates with the number from Shasta on them.

  4. Hi, my name is Bob West. I am in the process of renovating a 1970 Caravans International Highway Cruiser. My challenge is certain of the windows. Most are jalousie style and the front one in particular which stretches for 72” across the front of the camper continues to leak regardless of what I do to it. I have tried adding weather-stripping, I have tried clamping the window shut from the outside. It still accumulates water in the trough at the bottom of the window frame. There is a slot where it is supposed to drain out of the front but instead the water accumulates along the back side (the inside of the trailer) and then leaks through the screw holes into the trailer. I am afraid that the mechanism is pretty much worn out.

    The front window opening is 72” wide by 21 ¼ “ tall. I am having a similar problem with one of the side windows which is 30 “ wide and 21 ¼ “ tall. I am trying to find some way to repair or replace these windows. Attached are pictures of the windows in question. They have no brand marks of any sort that I can find.
    If you can help or if you know someone that might be able to help I would greatly appreciate it. You can reach me by email at rtw@realtylawpartners.com or by cell phone at 314 956 9868.

      1. You might research campers that use the same parts as yours. Then you could look for campers for sale that are in such bad shape they could only be used for parts. I know it’s not the best option, but it’s another way to look at it.

  5. Had an interesting time reading this. If looking for a more durable and safe window we can surely assist. And I love how you discuss things here. Thanks for sharing!

    1. Thank you so much for the kind remarks. Currently, I do not have a need for a window. I will keep you in mind if you I do.

    1. Thank you so much for the kind words. I am so happy this blog has helped you through your build.

  6. I just purchased a 65 shasta compact . Where can I find windows and the trim for the back corners where siding meets. Also I need siding for the back as well . This is all new to me and I need resourses.

    Thanks

    1. Vintage Trailer Supply is a great source for many parts on vintage campers. Windows might be more difficult to find. If you have the frame you want have to have one fabricated. Check with local metal shops for the exterior siding.
