I just replaced all the (new models) plastic window knobs from our 2017 FC with metal knobs. If anyone wants 12 unmolested plastic knobs please send a PM and I'll drop them in the mail to you. To qualify for this offer you must post a picture of you helping one old lady across the street.

Some nice improvements.

I am not particularly fond on these large windows, but Nancy loves them. I tend to hit my head on them when walking around the trailer. I am getting better avoiding them, but at night... no so well.

I open these windows from the outside. Easy and even the large window in front and back are easy to do by one person.
