    It never ends - bedroom window blew out today

    One the kids must have tampered with the window. It's the emergency exit window with the swing arm latch. I can only guess the swing arm was not correctly latched.

    20 minutes out of Vegas, another camper is passing us and waving to us. They're telling us the bedroom window is blown out. We pull over and sure enough, the entire window is gone. The swivel bracket at the top is bent and not usable.

    So I get out the truck windshield shade and duct tape that to the opening, and we soldier on.

    As I'm driving up towards Zion National Park, my wife is on the phone with General RV in Salt Lake City to get a window ordered so it'll be there by the time we show up.

    Window is only $129 but rough estimate for 2 day shipping is $400!!!

    Hopefully it'll show up on time and then we'll have a mobile service put in the new window.

    Unbelievable!!!

    I know the feeling. Same thing, grandkids were messing around in the camper shortly before we headed out and we lost our emergency window also. It was on a previous camper that had regular frame style windows. I cut a piece of plexi glass and siliconed it in till we got home, had to remove the entire frame and start over. Stinkin kids anyway! Gotta love um. Hope your repair goes well, don't let it ruin your trip.
