This is the van I saw a picture of that has the windows I want. Still looking for the source of those windows. Contacted the seller... no answer. Asked the company that did the 4x4 conversion on it... they say they don't deal with windows. None of the conversion van parts suppliers I have found have T-slider windows in that size. If only that van was more basic and a pre-2000 model, I would snatch it up. But alas, the quest for the perfect 4x4 van project continues...
I talked to a guy at El Kapitan last week (the builder on the interior in that T-window van you like). Our build was so minimal, they don't want to do the work. So he referred us to a shop in Norco.
Maybe they will be more helpful about the windows? They responded to my email inquiry within a couple of days...

I have known about that supplier for over a year now, but never bothered to ask them questions about windows until now. Turns out that they can custom order T-slider windows in different sizes, but they are at least double the cost of the standard windows they carry. Good to know, though.
C.R. Laurence is a common manufacturer of van conversion windows. I have them on my GTRV (search for GTRV Conversion in the Show & Tell section), although I don't know if they are as deep as the ones you referenced in the photo. I think they are used by Sportsmobile, as well.
Funny I just ordered two windows from crlaurence today. (through my local glass company) it doesnt look like they have that size window. I did order one for the driver side one that was the same height as the drivers window, but it doesn't seem to be as long as the ones in the pictures up above. Let us know what you find out. I have been searching for a while and it seems difficult to find windows online. I was happy to learn that my local glass company's prices were essentially the same as discountvantruck's prices, but of course there is no shipping charge.
I don't know, anything that doesn't open as an awning isn't really worth it in my opinion. Ditto having a screen. As nice as it would be to camp where there is never rain nor bugs, that's not really feasible.
