Windoor options: 1 side? Both side? Vented?

Hey guys, just put a deposit down on a 2017 SR 4x4 access cab. Going to put a shell on it, either a Leer 100R or an ARE V. Likely the former given the quotes I've been given. I will be sleeping in this truck and will be putting together a platform similar to: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/20255-Noob-Taco-Build

Anyway, regardless of which company I go with - help me design the side windows! I've been assuming I'd get vented windoors on both sides, but is this necessary? Do vented windoors really leak like a sieve like some suggest? Does anyone mix it up? E.g. two windoors, one vented on solid. One vented windoor, one standard slider, etc?

Would be interested in hearing your experiences!

 

Let me phrase it this way: my concerns for the following are

Two vented windoors - highest potential for leaks?
One vented windoor one solid windoor - is that enough airflow for sleeping/condensation?
One windoor + one standard slider window - are two windoors definitely needed?

 

I have an ARE with Windoors on both sides.
I haven't had any leak issues and it is very nice when my dog and I are camping on it.

 

Are they vented? Solid?

 

Vented

 

Happy to hear it. How big a deal would it be for you if you only had one windoor? Do you think one vented door would be enough for you and your dog or would it get to steamy?

 

I like the cross ventilation.
No real moisture problems but I use it for bird hunting in September, October .

 

Cross vented it is. Now to choose 1 or two windoors (the pacific northwest is why I'm being so obsessive about leaks). I like this simple little hack: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/leaky-leer-shell-windoors-hack.423744/

 

I have 2 vented windoors. Love them. No issues at all.

 

Anyone know if all the Leer windoors sold are in this variety as opposed to these?

 

I have one vented windoor, and a regular window with dog screen. The regular window allows much more air in when parked, the opening is much larger. The vented windoor opening is very small like 30""x6"". The windoor is on the drivers, rather than the dealer recommended passenger (curb) side. I get more use out of it because it is on this side.

 

Ive got a leer with two vented windoors. You definitely won't be disappointed with both. Crossbreeze is great and also, no leaks. Just do it!

 

Leer windoor opening size, regular window about 2x

 

I think I will . Although condensation and window size has me wondering if a vented windoor + regular slide would be best. @IronPeak4x4 - thoughts on condensation? Right now I'm leaning toward placing an order for double vented windoors, and my wife and I will be sleeping in it regularly.

 

If the weather isn't bad you can leave the windoor open, as for condensation the difference in screen window area between the regular and windoors isn't too much. Windoors are great and if I had to do it again I would get 2 not 1 but I'm happy either way. I think the larger screen area on the regular window is better for dogs.

 

Well alright folks, I think I'm sold on a 100R with two vented windoors. Was entertaining a higher one but my wife and I are small (I'm 5'8") and I love the look of the cab high shells. Appreciate the info!

 

we sleep In ours pretty regularly in the winter when we're camping. with the vents open on ours, we see minimal condensation. that's with the two of us and a dog. we also crack the window at the front of the cap to allow a little more airflow. if it gets too cold, ill close the vents and the condensation will just freeze onto the glass. but unless im remembering incorrectly, the insides of the windows allow for drainage to the outside for that purpose I think.

 

May want to consider a mid-rise shell, if you haven't already. Kinda wish I had more headroom in mine, but I really like it anyway.

 

oh yes, this. I regret not getting a mid-rise too. especially for sleeping.

 

Right? Would just like that little bit more. And now that I have a cargo net hanging in there too. Would be nice to not see stuff hanging in the rear view mirror. Being nitpicky, but if I could do it again. I would have gotten the mid-rise.
