Sorry it took so long for this reply. I haven't been as attentive to R-pod Nation as I should be. Here are some pictures of the windows.
 
I filled the gap between inside and outside frames with black silicone caulking. The "Drapery rod" is velcro.
Also note the net holder next to the window. It's the same as those in the bathroom, from Forest River. Works great for flashlight, glasses, wallet, or anything you might need at night. I put one in the bottom bunk as well.
 
 
The buckling under the window is the decal only. I'm not sure whaat caused that. You can barely see the clear silicone seal around the edges. That's inside and out. Now, here's a couple more mods.
 
 
Solar panel on the left side of the air conditioner. Blocks the AC just a bit, but I rarely use that anyway. It's 50 watts, and should be enough to maintain heat and lights on a moderately cool day, as long as the sun shines a little. There is room for another, on the right side of the AC, if this turns out to be insufficient.
In addition, I've replaced the microwave oven with a 17 inch gas range. I disabled the top burners and removed the grates. It fits the opening almost perfectly. Added some trim around the front.
That should do it for generator free dry camping.

You did a great job with those mods!! They look very good.
 
I must say, however, that if you need your wallet in the middle of the night, you lead a much more interesting life than I do LOL.
