How did you do your windows. We have aluminum trailer with rounded corner windows in the nose part. Fir strips are up, I think they are the 1/2 by 1 inch. What did you use to fill in the gaps between the trailer and the paneling? Did you square off the corners? PICTURES would be GREAT. Thanks!!!

FWIW - I squared mine off. I am using some molding I found at Home Depot to cover up the stripping and the paneling edge. The windows are actually different sizes, but the curtains will have to cover up the extra room on the smaller one. Here is a pic of the stripping on one of them, I don't have pics of the paneling yet.

I pretty much did my windows like Bonnie did hers. I left the furring strips square along the straight edge of the window. When I did the paneling though, I got a large sheet of paper and made a tracing of the windows (all 3 of mine are the same size). I then made a cardboard cutout of what I traced an used that as a template to cut out the paneling. The paneling butted up to the edge of the strips along the straight edge. I'm just going to leave the open space open in the curved part. I thought about cutting a corner of a 1x4 or such and cutting so as there will be a curve to follow the curve of the window and then glue it in place between the paneling and the wall. Might look a little neater and get rid of the space inbetween. I have not put anything along the edges as of yet.
