My SWB will live outside due to my babies having priority for garage space. Are the new sliding side windows waterproof or will a cover be needed?

Mine's kept under a carport most of the time but when it has been outside in the rain I've not noticed a problem.

The occasional drip in when I've driven in heavy rain but nothing to worry about.

Cheers, Bob.

Of of my SWB's is outside since the build 3 months ago, and here we have the same weather as in the UK, and the windows are OK, just the guttergets full of water and that may give a few drops inside, but nothing serious
