12” Round Van Porthole Window – VWD PORT12 Universal Clamp Ring Window
Not every van window is chosen for airflow alone. Some are chosen to change how a space feels.
The VWD 12” round porthole window adds natural light and outside visibility while using very little wall space. Its compact, circular opening fits spaces that rectangular windows cannot, making it ideal for custom layouts, small sleeping areas, and accent lighting inside the van.
Universal Fitment
- Works on any van or custom build
- No vehicle stamping required
- Ideal for tight wall sections
- Suitable for DIY installations
Round windows are often installed where a full window would interfere with cabinets, beds, or structural ribs.

A porthole window does not try to replace large windows. Instead, it provides focused light and visibility without exposing the interior.

Even a small amount of direct natural light significantly changes how enclosed spaces feel inside a van.
