Suggestion Screened Emergency window?

[Richpatty]

Hey all,

I am looking to replace my emergency window in the bedroom (see this thread - Leaking emergency window) and was thinking of having it replaced with one that has a screen that can be opened for air. Does anyone have one like this? Do they exist? Can you post a picture of it?

Thoughts?
Thanks
Rich

I haven’t seen an emergency exit window with a screen — yet.
Watching this thread to see what I learn.

Mine has a screen

Great. Thanks. It should be so-able then.

I guess you can prop it open by the bar at the bottom?

Not sure what the cost would be, but will get it quoted.
Thanks

Yes, the bar holds the window open (though sometime it can be a little fickle and lets the window slam shut suddenly). I use it often to get more air in the back.

Thanks! Appreciate the pic and description.

The ones I have seen from the factory have screens that retract / roll up in a housing and attach to the sliding window frame with magnets. As you open the window the screen is rolled out with it. Being attached via magnets making it super easy to retract the screen out of the way. But I have only seen this on the newer windows that slide open to the right vs. up...

Best,

Would love to know where you find it at

I am waiting to hear back from NIRVC Atlanta for a quote. Taking a bit longer than I expected. Will let everyone know.

 

[Richpatty]

Update: NIRVC Atlanta provided a quote for a window (I think it is screened - confirming).

The window is about $612 and will take 2 hours of labor.

If I can confirm that it is screened, I will probably get it done as I don't trust the existing window.

Please post the part# when you get it.. What is the size of your window?

 

[Richpatty]

Ok…latest update…. There is no longer a screened version of this emergency window, per Newmar. I pointed out to them that there are folks on the forum who have them and he agreed, but said they had been discontinued. So I will be stuck with the same non-screened version I have how.

The part number is 123583 for my window (non screened).

 

[Richpatty]

As per the thread above, I was told by Newmar that you could no longer get a screened emergency window…. But in watching a NIRVC video for a 2025 Newmar, I noticed that it has an screened emergency window that can be propped open!

I called Newmar about it (although I have already replaced it with a regular emergency window) and they say that they carry them again….for around $900 (which is quite a bit more than what I paid for a regular one). But I would have really liked a screened version.

Just wanted to pass this along if anyone is interested…and to update this thread.

If you really wanted the screen you can buy screen with Velcro borders that can be cut to size. I know it's less than desirable, but those windows tend to be tucked away and not used frequently so it may not look too bad.

 

[Richpatty]

True… but how do you prop it open?

Is this directed to me? I would simply peel the screen away from the bottom just enough to open the window and then put something to hold it open (pen, pencil, etc...) and then reattach the screen.

Or you can spend $900.

Hmmm… $900?. Seems that $2-300 is a more reasonable price

You can solve the propping of the window with this add on arm for just such.

You know, that never bothered me nor had I given it any consideration but now you've got me thinking.
