RE: Replacement window
I remedied the problem, I sold the rig and bought a two year old Artic Fox.
:h
Seems like an extreme way to "fix" the problem?
My previous rig was 20 years old, had lots and lots of miles on it and we spend 4 to 5 months in it every years. It gets used...If I could have found replacement windows we might still have it but time was right!
Mine was 30yrs old when I bought it with a broken window.
Local home and business glass shop told me to remove the window frame and bring to them.
Took frame to my local home and business glass shop, they matched the glass color, then cut the glass to size, then sent glass out to have it tempered, once they got the glass back they installed into the frame. I reinstalled the frame with fresh glass in the window opening.
Glass shop at that time (10 yrs or so ago) charged me a whole $50 for a 3' by 2' piece of glass including the Tempering and installation into the frame. Took about 1 week to get new glass.
I still think yours may have been able to be replaced for a more reasonable cost than what you were quoted but that was your choice.
Glad you are happy with your latest rig.
I had 2 jealousy window sections fall out (sections of a 3 section window) . Frame and all. Contacting Hehr they no longer make that window, not were parts for it even available.
As I said, we spend up to 5 months in our rig, and it was 20 years old. I felt that it owed us nothing and we are really enjoying something newer. It was a choice that we are happy with!!

RE: Replacement window
So I got a price from on aftermarket company, $2,185.00. I guess I wasn't surprised but that's crazy. Still trying to figure something out.

RE: Replacement window
Great advise on the after market window places. I will pursue that route and see what I can find. Thanks guys, I love this forum!

RE: Replacement window
I guess I didn't explain my scenario well, the frame itself and the glass are gone, I have contacted Pellant and that is a no. I even asked if I could purchase the entire 8701 window, again no. I have contacted 3 salvage places and no one has the window. I am thinking I might remove the entire window and see if I or a glass/window shop can't come up with something that can be make to fit inside the frame of 8701. Cardboard and Gorilla tape ain't to pretty ;(

Don't know about a national data base but here are some salvage yards.
Thank you...

Replacement window
I have a 2002 5th wheel with a Hehr 8701 style window (#01-8701-00-0-217-536-357-0-4141-2551-0000). One of the center sections (jealousy) actually fell out while in a wind storm. The parts are quite worn and it seems Hehr doesn't want to sell just the part that is broken.
Question: Is there a national data base for used rv parts like there is for salvage auto parts. OR does anyone have any ideas?
