Question Storm Windows?

I saw in a sales brochure that storm windows for winter use were available, as an option. Does anyone have more info on current replacements, or pictures of frames?

Would'nt it be possible to use something like plexiglass or lexan in say 1/4in.? Just cut to the size that you need and install. Not sure if every trailer would be able to exept this solution. But if you have screens, I would think that 1/4 in. would fit right into the screen slots or tracks. Just an idea.

With the 66-67-68 sty windows, the screen frame has a thin lip around the edge that is used to clam the screen in place. It is kind of like a sideways "h".

The storm window uses a sidways "h" for a frame. Also the window frame have to be curved to match the window frame. Got to love them Curved Corning Winders.........

shrink "storms"

for less than twenty dollars you can get the same result with the clear plastic insulation that you double stick tape to the walls. Once it is in place, just shrink it with a hairdryer! I leave it on all winter--using the trailer or not. When I open it for the season the plastic film peels of with no residue!
