Shortly afterward, I was getting dry cat food out of a 5 gallon bucket with a Gamma Seal lid. I suddenly had a slightly weird idea: What if you could push the ring for a Gamma Seal into a round opening in your foamy, taking a piece of screen along with it? Glue/seal it in place, and you have a porthole style window that comes with a gasketed screw-on "shutter" to cover it in bad weather. The OD of the Gamma Seal ring that goes onto the bucket is about 12 inches. The opening when you remove the screw-on lid is about 11 inches in diameter. It wouldn't be a big window, but might fit nicely into a door or as a vent in the back part of the trailer.
Does this sound practical?
