Stargazer window and curved surface?

[vegask]

Still in the build stages of my teardrop (build here viewtopic.php?f=50&t=65081)

Walls are all cut out and the plan was to put a stargazer in the tear that faced slightly forward and just realized that there is no 9" section on my tear that is not curved. So, I am wondering if its possible to recess the window a tad or is it not a good idea to mount a window like that on anything other than a flat surface?

No reason not to. Take a look at my photobucket album. I put a flat window in the radiussed front in our tear.



There are more pictures in the album showing how I did it.

I like how Sam shaped the frame to fit a flat window on a curved roof. For my build I flattened the roof to accommodate a curved automotive sunroof frame. If I could do it over I'd think it through further and maybe try something different.

It worked eventually and I expect it to be water tight but haven't finished enough of the rest of the trailer yet to point the garden hose at it yet.
