I would not reccomend adding windows to any r-pod.  There reasons why the window is absent from the front of all r-pods.  #1,  A flat window cannot be placed in a curved hole.  A special window would have to be made that fits the contour and shape of the front of the pod.  #2.   The window would have a higher chance of failure because water will collect along the top edge of the window and create issues down the road.  This is why you do not see windows on the fronts towables like you used to.  Again, I would not reccomend putting ANY holes in your r-pod.

Is it possible to put a window in the front? The wall is curved there.

If you add the window up front you will void your warrenty on the camper... the reason it is not there is that while towing the 'air' pressure will work the window to the point that eventually it will leak ...

They could solve this problem by adding a window on the door.  Maybe that is something you could add.

Interesting points.  The rear is curved, too, so I was thinking of using that model for the front too.  Also, I see many TT's with front windows (with covers to protect against stones on the road), so someone must have figured that out?
