Old Question Asked Yet Again

My first thought would be they just forgot to close it.

I found that if I have an open window, the suction of passing trucks will pull a window on the opposite side and it starts to rattle. This drives the DW nuts and she has to get up and diddle with the window until it's silent again.

Sometimes it is this. And this is the time of year for it.

IN THE CAMPGROUND it is more energy efficient plus there are other benefits to opening the windows Firing up the Max-Air or Fantastic Fan and shutting down the air conditioners... THen you forget to close the windows.

Do not know about motor homes but long about 40 MPH on cars it's more efficient to close the windows (Improves air flow around the car) and fire up dash air.

Dash air. Fails and many C's don't have generators like my A does (New A/C Compressor this spring in fact on my A)

I do not lock my windows. Sometimes they open on their own (Well the rear windows are either locked or up/down,, The front windows other than the cockpit are sliders)

We always leave at least one slideing window unlocked, not necessarily the same one. Sometimes we drive with one or more open for ventilation. But we have been locked in or out by failing door locks at least twice, and a unlocked window prevents breaking one.

Sometimes we travel with the roof vents open. We have covers on all of them. Why? For ventilation, especially in HOT weather. We don't open windows, bu the roof vents do help keep air circulating and from getting so dang HOT inside the camper.

Wow, all this time and I didn't even know it was an old question. I can't remember it ever being asked.

Actually it predates the internet so you may have missed it.

Humm, I like to have air flow in what ever I am driving. If I had a Motor Home I think that leaving the back window open would be the perfect idea to get air to flow through the RV without adding much noise. If you have decent air flow you can shut the AC off.

Also, I suppose,,, There is a big suction behind a RV that is trying to slow you down and robs gas mileage. I suppose it's possible that people believe that if you leave that back window open you are breaking some of that suction and helping yourself out. Might be some truth in that !!
