Today the DW and I worked on the shade and valance. I made a slightly deeper and taller valance out of 3/8" plywood. Should have made it of 1/2" as my air stapler goes down to 1/2". Tried using a hand staple gun, but it wouldn't work on the plywood, too hard.
We added iron-on non fray tape all around the shade fabric and seam tape to make the bottom opening for the pull-down. Then we did a dry run and it all works fine. Not sure what I'm doing about attaching the faux leather to the valance. Either find a 3/8 stapler or remake it in 1/2" plywood.

Thanks, haven't really looked at the glass and saw the installation video a few months backs.

Aceinspp, That stained glass window is nice, I believe that's what Bob Caldwell might be shopping for.

They are nice looking windows, but we defeats our purpose of viewing out.
I hope to finish the valance this weekend. I kinda feel like I'm doing this backwards and should have done the window first then the valance and shade.

Almost done with valance
Ran out and bought an air stapler. Covered the valance in faux leather. Just need to mount to wall.

Yooroo, Did you get your window from that guy at the FROG rally that you had to walk past to go into the chow hall?

Valance is done!
Finished the shade and valance. Finished the inside of the valance in faux-leather also as it would be seen entering the coach and looking up.
Now waiting to see if the glass is available at Quartzsite.

Bob, if it's clear tempered and hopefully slightly tinted, I will probably buy one and either install it at the campsite myself or wait until I get home.

My wife and I lease an apartment in NJ for business. The windows are double thermo pane with a Levalor type blind in between the two pieces of glass. This would be PERFECT for an RV. Nothing to blow around. Nothing to clean. no sweating.
Do any RVs offer such windows?

I would be first in line for this. GREAT IDEA! Hope someone can figure out how to do it. Should not be hard.
