Abstract
A flexible window assembly for covering a window in a flexible wall such as is commonly found on recreational vehicles such as tent campers. The assembly includes a flexible transparent window pane that covers the screened opening in the flexible sidewall. The window pane is attached to the sidewall by a zipper and by rolling the window pane into a cylindrical shape the window pane is opened. A pair of flexible retaining straps extend between the top edge and the bottom edge of the wall which maintain the window pane in the cylindrical position. Each retaining strap includes a pair of cords, and a flexible decorative curtain is positioned in between the cords. A toggle member frictionally engages the cords and contacts the lower edge of the curtain, and accordingly the curtain can be positioned on a closed position, a raised position, or in a plurality of intermediate positions between the closed position and the raised position.
