Rear Window with Larger Opening

[SierraCamper]

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a slide-in Arctic Fox camper for our 2023 Sierra HD Denali dually that sits on the truck bed.  I would love to create a pass-through window between the camper and the truck cabin. 

 

I can easily replace the bottom window on the camper with an RV window that opens.  Also, I think an inflatable fat tire bicycle inner tube could act as a "gasket" and provide sufficient insulation between the camper window and the rear window of the truck while driving, assuming the truck window opening is centered and not too large.  Or there may be even better solutions for the gasket/insulation problem.  But I don't know what to do about the rear window of the truck. 

We currently have the sliding (motor-driven) rear window, but the opening is too small.  Maybe I could have fit through that 20 years ago, but no chance now (or in the future!).  Is there a rear window with a larger opening that we could install for our truck?  Compromises may need to be made, so it is OK if the opening is manual, no more defogger, etc.

 

Thank you as always!

On the previous gen windows from a Titan would fit, I highly doubt that the window openings are the same on the new trucks. I've never seen or heard of aftermarket rear windows that have a bigger slider

Sierra Camper,

 

We have identical interest.....

I'm curious, what camper are you running (Length).

 

I'm hoping to find a (short) slide in for my 2024 3500HD Dually.

Would like to tow larger trailers and don't like the idea of a long receiver-hitch extension.

 

Good luck, I'll keep my eye on this thread.

A couple of posters in a multipro tailgate thread in the mods subforum were talking about the Cirrus 620, which is a hard sided short bed length camper. The Four Wheel Campers Hawk is a pop up camper for 80 inch beds. ATC has a similar model.
