Broken Window
It appears the mower might have thrown a rock at the left rear window. It has shattered and will have to be replaced. Is this something a RV service center could repair or will we have to take it to a TM dealer, the closest is in TX
or WI. Will we have to order the window? This is the first time we have had to make a repair. Thanks in advance for any answer you might have for me.

Had to replace mine a while back. It’s tempered glass so it has to be special made. Any local glass shop can do it or have it done. I had to take the TM in so they could trace a pattern of the glass then bring the TM back in when they had the glass cut and tempered so they could install it. Didn’t cost much, well under a $100 if I remember right, and that’s Alaska prices.

Like most parts of most RVs, including TMs, the windows were not made by the trailer manufacturer. In the case of Trailmanors, the sticker in each window says the windows were made by Hehr. I've not had to do it, but a stroll through their web site might save you a bunch of bucks.
Good luck.

Call Hehr and give them the dimensions of the window and they should be able to get you a replacement as well as installation instructions. I had a window issue and called them and they were great to work with.

With the TM's windows so close to the ground, when it is closed and traveling on highway/roads, I am surprised that there are not many posts about window repair or replacement. The front and back windows are protected by a cover. How about the side windows. Are they prone to be damaged by passing cars/truck debris?

I had this happen too. I removed the window and took it to a glass shop, then reinstalled it. As I recall it was about $40 to replace the tempered glass.
