i just purchased a 2014 320S.. No front window.. Is it a possible to have that installed? Either by the factory or a dealer with that capability?
sure can appreciate the light that another window affords.

    I could make the trip to sugar creek as I have family in Ohio.

    No, it's not possible because the aluminum frame needs to be built in before the T@B is built.

    A search of front window brought up this thread. I know RZRBUG also looked into getting the front window on his T@B.

    Does the porthole require a frame? It seems to have it's own built in frame.

    The porthole would be a good question to ask nüCamp.

    The porthole can be installed.  Saw PV install one at Tearstock last year.

    States the T@Bpole has camped, so far ;)

    The front wall is curved. I've only seen pics of the porthole window on the flat side wall.

    I know it's curved. But given the beams are 8" center to center going across, it means that you could, in theory, install a smaller window that was in between the beams, running horizontal. I've been shopping for port hole light windows. If you lay a piece of something flat against 6" in the front surface, you'll see the gaps are very small. I am still investigating adding a window in the front. It's a matter of finding the right window. Here's the concept:
