Two-day trip from Louisville, KY to Augusta, GA (overnight in Sevierville, TN). Anyhow, after getting set up in Augusta I discovered a frameless window in the living room slide was completely busted out! I have no idea when or how it happened. The road conditions were not particularly bad on the trip, so no big jars or shudders like sometimes happen. Have others experienced this issue? I tried a search on the Durango forum but didn't find anything.
I contacted KZ but the regular warranty person was out this week. I was told I needed to take it to a KZ dealer but there weren't any anywhere close by. I also tried to find a mobile repair company or a local RV repair company, but I decided I didn't have time to deal with it so I came up with a temporary repair. The repair should provide security and weather protection until I can get to a dealer for this and some other warranty repairs that are needed. I'm attaching some photos in case anyone else runs into a similar problem and needs a temp fix, if you like what I did. Note that the photo showing the reinforcement inside is rotated 90 degrees and I couldn't figure out how to get it upright (it straightens up when clicked on). 1/4" exterior plywood, 1"x4"s inside and (9) 1/4" carriage bolts with wing nuts. Used a jig saw for all the cutting. Black glossy spray paint to try to get it to look mostly like the other window.
