Talking about the Alfa, not the Gulfstream atrium--I love my big windows and can't imagine what it would be like to live in an RV without them. I can't remember ever looking at a neighbor's utility connections because those are usually in the back. I have had views of my actual neighbor, but just as often it's been a view of scenery, and at least I have that option available, which isn't the case with low slit-like windows.
I think the big windows contribute greatly to the climate control issues that bullydogs1 mentioned--they can get really hot when the sun's beating on them, and the frames are cold in cold weather, but I'm talking Colorado winter cold; otherwise, they're fine. But there's the option to block them, and then it's more like you have regular RV windows, and in more pleasant weather, you can open them up and enjoy the airiness.
I'm sitting in an RV park right now that's just a gravel parking lot, and still enjoying my panoramic view. Maybe I'm just easy to please.
