My two cents as a newcomer to this list but not a newcomer to making
changes. Consider NOT doing the windows. Visual privacy has value also and
is it really worth the effort to make new windows? How often will you be
standing up there looking out?

I once learned from a very young and romantically idealistic carpenter to
always rethink a project. Think how you can do it with less materials and
with less effort and if you really need to do it at all.

I'm happy with one window at the front. Plenty of ventilation. Less hassle
if it rains. Maximum visual privacy.

Subject: Questions about (making) 3 window Westy Canvas


> Hi Listees:
>
> A friend has offered to convert my original one window Westy canvas to
three (or even four!), using his considerable sewing skills.  Although I
have seen a picture of three window canvas on the Busdepot site,  I have not
studied one in person.  I am looking for feedback from listees who own the
three window canvas regarding their likes or dislikes.  Are the side windows
large enough, and would a narrow fourth window above the rear hatch be a
good thing, or not?  Especially helpful would be the dimensions of the side
windows, and where the window is located from the front edge of the canvas
seam, and from the top or bottom edges.  Any links to other photos would be
a plus.  Thanks in advance!
