EDWIN Installation Guide

Installing the Entry Door Window (a.k.a. EDWIN) in your RV is easier than you might think. First timers should plan on 30-45 minutes to complete the EDWIN installation. To make this as easy as possible, we have provided step-by-step instructions for this Do-it-yourself project.

Tools needed. Your new Atwood EDWIN window is shipped with all the parts you need for a complete installation: Window and Frame, Interior Trim Ring, Screws and Flange Seal Tape. The only tool you will need is a Screw Gun and Putty Knife.

Step 1. Remove the old door window.

•

Remove all the screws around the perimeter of the old door window frame from inside the vehicle. There will be approximately 16 screws . (See photo A)

•

Once all screws are removed, the inner trim ring can be set aside and the window can now be pushed out of its opening (See photo B). It is recommended that a second person stand outside with a hand lightly on the window to prevent the window from falling to the ground.

•

If the window is still firmly in place after all screws are removed, you can break the seal by sliding a thin putty knife under the exterior of the window flange and work your way around the window until loose. (See photo C)

•

Once the old window is successfully removed, carefully remove any remaining sealant or tape that is stuck to the

outside wall at the window opening.

Step 2. Verify window fit.

•

First you will need to remove the 4 short packaging screws holding the window and trim ring together. These are for shipping purposes only and will not be needed.

•

Test fit the new window by simply placing it in the rough opening to ensure a proper fit. (See Photo D)

•

If the window will not slide into the opening, use a screwdriver to pop out one of the plastic black spacers located on the side of the window and then retry. Continue to remove spacers until the window slides into the opening. (See Photo E)

Step 3. Prepare and install your new EDWIN window.

•

Lay the new window face down on a soft surface so not to

scratch it, and apply the included flange seal tape around the flange. Start in the center of the bottom side of the window and apply the seal tape all the way around the perimeter until the ends meet, and trim flush. There should not be a gap where the seal ends meet. (See Photo F)

•

Next, one person should place and firmly hold the window into the opening from outside the vehicle. The second person will align the trim ring on the inside of the window and begin loosely fastening the interior trim ring with the provided screws. Start with the 4 corners first and work your way around the perimeter gradually tightening each screw as you go. This will slowly pull the trim ring and window together. (See Photos G & H)

Step 4. Enjoy your new EDWIN window.

Now that your new window is properly secured and sealed you are ready to get back out on the road and enjoy your RV.
