Any Class C still made with frame windows?

We just took delivery of a 2017Thor 31L Chateau..It is our 3rd Chateau, and I screwed up. Did not realize the changes they made since 2007..Frameless windows suck..Electric awning sucks..Sewer tank drain hookup? I would pay money to watch the guy who designed that mess have to empty the tanks on a rainy windy day..

So..Are any manufacturers still offering slide windows, manual awning, and a septic tank dump from the side, not from under the rig?
Class C

    You might want to check out Winnebago products - especially their Spirit and Minnie Winnie models that are based on Ford's E350 and E450 chassis.

    We looked at another 2017 31L locally, and looked at this one. I messed up through familiarity, as we currently own a 2007 Chateau with pretty much the same floor plan..Just did not realize the changes they had made like frameless windows, door not opening 180 degrees, fresh water inlet on opposite side of electric and city water..Awning being flat when open instead of tilted..etc..

    I pull a 3 horse trailer, and have a 2 day ride coming up..Going to use the 2007 for the ride.. We are going to sell this 2017 one.

    Lazy Daze has wonderful huge sliding windows. Can see all around wherever you are sitting in coach. Manual awning.
