This 12" round porthole window is for camper van builds where a full-size window won't fit. When cabinets or a bed take up most of the wall, it adds light and a view without taking over the panel space you've already planned.
This window installs into an 11-11/16-inch cut-out and has a 12-7/8-inch outer diameter. The smaller circular opening adds daylight and a view outside without requiring a large rectangular cut in the wall.
The black powder-coated aluminum frame surrounds the glass and holds it in place. Aluminum resists corrosion, so the frame will not rust over time.
This bunk window sits at eye level from outside, creating a direct view into the sleeping area when parked near others or in public spaces. The 17% gray tint limits how much someone can see inside while still allowing visibility out. It also blocks 83% of UV rays, reducing sun exposure through that section of glass.
The clamp ring sandwiches the van wall between the interior and exterior frame to secure the window. The reversible ring allows installation on either side and forms a weathertight seal when used with foam seal tape so you can add light without giving up usable wall space.

Hi, everyone. Steven here with etrailer. Let's take a look at this Van Windows Direct universal round porthole window, 12 inches. So folks, this is going to work great with full size van conversions or other potential options as well. Now this window does install onto an 11 by 11/16 inch cutout. And as you can see, it's two pieces.
You have a trim ring and you have the inside piece here. So again, 11 11/16 inch cutout, but it does have a 12 and 7/8 inch outer diameter. Now this small circle opening will let you add daylight and add a view outside without requiring large rectangular cuts into your van wall. The frame and everything here on both sides is a powder-coated aluminum, and it's going to resist corrosion. You do have the included foam tape and screws for installation.
Now this is what we would call a bunk window, and it's normally going to sit about eye level from the outside, giving you a direct view into the sleeping area when parked near others or in public spaces. Now that being said, if you want to put it higher or lower, left, right, that's totally up to you. Obviously, again, these are universal. And as you can see, it does have a 17% tint, and that's going to limit how much someone can see inside as well, while still allowing you some visibility inside and out. So here it is with my face.
Try to get rid of the glare there. This is going to block 83% of the UV rays, and it's going to reduce sun exposure through that section of the glass. And again, this is reversible, so you can put this on either the passenger or the driver's side. It's totally up to you. Well, folks, that's going to wrap up our quickly together.
