We started by drawing out the size of the circular cut out on a piece of paper (this was 305mm for our window). The window is designed to be fitted to a canal boat, so has clamps that are well suited to a 2mm thick van wall.

Our base van wasn’t especially cheap and we did want to install options that would last well – also, seeing as the rest of our windows were double glazed this one probably should be as well! With a cheaper base van or a van intended for use in less harsh climates (our van might have to cope with -25C in the Alps!) we might have chosen differently. The cheaper options were tempting but we were concerned about polycarbonate perishing over time through exposure to high/low temperatures and what would happen if it did – we would have had to replace with a porthole of identical cut out or larger as once a hole is cut in the van it is very hard to go back.

We looked at a range of portholes ranging from the very cheap (£23.99 polycarbonate porthole from eBay) to proper marine windows. The majority of our windows are Dometic Seitz S4 windows but we were keen to add some character and extra light into our build by also installing a porthole.
