Dear Mr. Dahlke: Thank you for your letter of October 24, 1968, concerning glazin materials in your recreational vehicles.; FHWA Ruling 68-1, published in the *Federal Register* on March 26 1968, (33 FR 5020) specified that campers must meet the requirements of Standard No. 205, *Glazing Materials*. Copies of FHWA Ruling 68-1 and Standard No. 205 are enclosed.; We do not have any provision for exempting certain windows from th requirements of Standard No. 205 because of their foldaway position during transport. It is true, also, that your camper could be transported in the erected condition. Therefore, all glazing materials in the camper must meet the requirements of Standard No. 205.; Travel trailers are not included in the application of Standard No 205, hence, do not have to meet the safety glazing requirements.; Sincerely, Clue D. Ferguson, Director, Office of Standards o Crash-Injury Reduction, Motor Vehicle Safety Performance Service;
