Finally received and installed my new motion windows in the bus after impatiently waiting, They went in incredibly easy and look magnificent!
I have all of the old window frames intact except the drivers window. (3 passenger side windows, 2 drivers side windows and the door window) If anyone would be interested in them. Im located in saskatchewan canada so i doubt its worth the shipping.

Dont mind the ugliness of the bus, still a long way to go and only purchased this spring. Currently in the middle of gutting interior and re-insulating it.

Being from the cold cold north, did you get the double pane or the single pane windows?  They sure look good!  I love the way you can get a good RV window that looks almost completely stock.  I have them in my bedroom.

Great looking windows.  How do you plan to insulate the unit.  Really curious especially since you live where it DOES get cold.

Just getting started. Bags are in, interior metal out ready to insulate and cover, then do the floor

Sadly the 4106 windows from motion windows are only single pane, all of the windows besides the D shaped windows open, and have screens. i plan to just do the plastic shrink wrap on them during the winter.

Also with insulating the bus im doing 1 1/2 inch styrofoam insulation for the walls and ceiling, spray foaming the cracks and taping all the seams. Also doing 1 1/2 inch styrofoam on the floor framed in 2x8' sections. Also just currently installed a wood stove (lots of debate on that) so ill be able to work on the interior through out the winter. Heres the interior currently. Have been staying in the bus while working on it to save on trips out to where its parked currently.

Spent around $5500 CAD including shipping and customs on the windows for the bus, but was very well worth it.

Because of the size and shape of the windows on my AMGeneral transit, I had to use single pane windows from Pen Glass. And they are screwed on from the outside. With the light tint, they are excellent windows. My bus is so tight, I have to leave the bathroom vent open at all times or else your ears will pop when the outside door is shut.
On my truck, I'm using double pane windows. And since they are so tall (42"), the slider is only on the bottom half. Good Luck, TomC

All-Rite in Hollister Ca makes a good window as good if not better than Motion for less money,they have a plant in Georgia also I am impressed with the quality of their windows

I deal with Tom at Motion Jeff and I don't see the same finished product and being from the old school as the saying goes" if you need credit at the grocery store ask the owner not the clerk" Jeff can be a @$# IMO

   What's with the aluminum strip along the front driver's window vertical edge? They didn't come with new window gaskets did they? How long after you ordered them did you receive them?
