Panning windows?

I replaced one of my windows with a foam-sandwich fibreglass panel which I made up for the purpose, the panel having the same thickness and curve as the original double-glazed window. I then added a 'bubble' to the fibreglass panel to give a few extra inches of room inside the bus (inside the bathroom and shower unit as it happens). I could do this without increasing the overall width of the bus because the sides of my bus are slightly curved, tapering towards the roof.

I wrote up a thread about the project here: http://www.busconversions.com/bbs/index.php?topic=11483.0

A shameless plug for my business - visit www.magazineexchange.co.uk for back issue magazines - thousands of titles covering cars, motorbikes, aircraft, railways, boats, modelling etc. You'll find lots of interest, although not much covering American buses sadly.

   Josh, I was thinking as I was reading earlier replies that the construction varies between different types of buses so I was very glad to see that Doug had discussed the way that things worked on his bus (which is similar to yours).  You're getting good guidance here.  But be aware that some things work for other buses that would be hard to incorporate into yours, follow the path of practicality.
