This window went in MUCH easier! Turns out I cut the other window 1/8" too big which is what made it so hard to get in. I may take the other window out, trim it down and reinstall it.
We installed this window in about 45 minutes compared to about 4 hours for the other one.
I'm holding off on installing the center window until I get the couch in. The center window is 26" tall, the doorway is only 24" wide so getting it in through the window is my best bet.

Front Windows
I installed one of the front side windows today. Let me tell you it was the biggest pain in the ass!! It took hours to get it installed.
NOT looking forward to doing the other ones.
I also installed the 7-way trailer plug.
Tomorrow I'll work on the other front side window.

Tail Lights
I got the tail lights installed yesterday.
One thing I want to mention that is very important. Be VERY careful how tight you install the screws for the trim piece and what you use to install them with. I used my little Ridgid impact to install the screws, the combination of the impact and torquing the screw down too much caused the lens to shatter. At $75 a piece for originals that's a very costly mistake.
I also began working on installing the front wrap around windows. I clamped the piece of lexan directly to the camper and traced out the window shape on to it. Then I cut along the line with my jig saw, then I used a scribe set at 1/8" to make a new mark because the gasket takes up that much all the way around. Then I cut along the new line. I intalled the gasket in the window opening to get the proper length for it.
I will install the window today when I have a second set of hands for help.
