Keep the Side Slide or fit a Louvre Window? Hmm..
Just a pondering on the thought of replacing the side window in my 81' Leisure Drive. So, thought i'd throw it out to the members, to see if there's pro's or con's of fitting in a louvre? You know, asthetics, security, ventillating the bacon smells! Also, would (sorry to type the word on here) a Bay Louvre fit?

"security".... *snigger* 
any thing fits if you make it fit.
But a bay hole ain't the same as a leisuredrive hole.

My Leisuredrive has a louvred window so you could probably find a second hand one.

Got 'em in mine.
As a smoker, they're handy for 'no-incursion' ventilating when it's pissing down.
(I also trail my solar cable out of them. Don't have any qualms about leaving them open unattended.)

Keep the slider, very useful when you lock your keys in the van (last week's adventure here)
