I contacted Zeppelin for a drawing. They replied ´no time´, but you can make holes where you like. It won´t affect the strength for what you will do with the shelter.

Are you happy with the Outbound windows? Quite a difference in price with KCT.

The side beams are visible from the outside in cold weather when the shelter itself is warmer than the outside temperature. This helps a lot; but we only discovered after we already cut the holes. We used the drawings we found on a german forum. We did cut (knowingly) through one of the beams to install the window above the bed (left from our door, next to the steps); from what we could figure out by talking to others and reading online was that this beam was not crucial for the overall stability of the shelter.

Hope this helps.

Love to hear about the progress you make with your build!

Cheers,
Nicole & Elmer

You did a great job with your Steyr! I have just bought an Unimog with a zeppelin shelter. I too want to make windows in it. How did you figure out the position of the frame in the walls an ceiling before cutting the holes?

Do you think that even after all the extra insulation we added, we should add more?
We have not noticed any damp issue during the cold days, but when we close off the shelter completely after a very hot humid day, we encounter the to be expected heat damp the next morning. Closing off the shelter then prevent the humidity from escaping (it basically is a sealed box then) and fresh air to circulate.

We are now experiencing damp and mould problems in the corners where the upright frame runs through the walls of the shelter. Even the around the uprights which are 1.1 meter from the corners doe sweat and start to develop black mould spots… Just saying.

Greetings from Chile! Juergen
