Further Confessions November 26, 2007, 12:09:11 pm Yahoo Message Number: 86339Thank you all for your feed back. I do not intend to do the actual stained glass myself. Last year at Quartzite, there were people selling premade inserts. I saw one I liked in prismatic glass. It apppeared to be leaded. There may be some clear areas. The persistance of memory is never complete. I will wait 6 weeks and look for them again. I believe installation involves removing the inside black plastic and using a silicon adhesive. It comes with directions. Has anyone purchased or installed one of there? After that I will see if an intercom or a camera is needed. Beverly

I believeHi Beverly, If this is real leaded stained glass (made with lead "last") I would not affix it to anything that bounces around like an RV door. If it were securely framed in wood or aluminum to be brought out and suspended from wire or something then no problem.The problem is that the lead tends to sag even when in an immobile location. Leaded glass panels are not very strong either. This was one of the reasons that Tiffany developed his copper foil technique for those large cathedral windows so they didn't require unattractive supporting poles. I urge you to check out the cling film stained glass. There is lots of choice and it's very nice. No modifications to the door just smooth it out over the glass. If you get tired of the pattern just peel it off and slap up something else.Ginger
Further Confessions Reply #2 – November 26, 2007, 11:55:48 pm Yahoo Message Number: 86369Hi, We've had a "stained glass" window in both our '94 and in our '06. It is actually a plexiglas type material that has just enough flex to allow it to be "popped in" to the window framing. A bit of foam in the bottom of the frame keeps in from rattling or moving. There is a small clear peep-hole which works very well. We bought the window at the Caravaner's Club about 12 years ago. The lady who made so many of them is no longer able to do so. However, I believe there is a woman in the Northwest group who is making these inserts.Juli Wilson Minden, NV '06 RB

(we are inactive members) I've often wondered how you co-exist in that little Nevada town witout runninlg into one another. When we visit friends again in Markleville I want to get in touch with you and spin a story about how we got a glider off the ground that had to land on that little strip on the ridge just outside of Markleville.

Then, often as not, drop down into the East Fork of the Carson river valley and fly north following the twisting river canyon. This is also a popular kayak and rafting run, there's even a hot springs half way.all the best,bumper
