why did you overlap the frame 1"?

[Hole Hog]

If this was 8' wide I would not have done the 1" over hang. But since this one started at 6"4' wide, every inch you can save or gain for your finished interior is nice.figure you start at 6'4" wide, add your 2x3 studs (each side) that's 6" you lost in your width right there. Now factor in what you use to finish your interior with. Yea I know its not much to gain,but I read on here that someone else did this so I thought I'd try it.

Where did you get the $20 buck windows and is there any left?

[Hole Hog]

He is located in chetek wisconsin just south of rice lake.its been a few months since I have been there, but he has about 30 rv's on his lot to be salvaged. He would have plenty of windows/shape/ sizes left. $20 doesn't matter whitch window you choose.you just need to pull them out.all the good doors are picked through I thought.can't find his # right now. I'll post it if I find. Hope this helps

Getting ready to put trailer lights in. Any pointers of how to run the wires from the inside to plug into the vehicle?
