Gulfstream Vintage Cruiser 19ERD - NO egress windows!

My 2010 Dutchmen has an exit on the passenger side bedroom window. It also has one a few feet away over the couch/bed.

Update - Brought the camper in to work last week and they ordered new windows to be replaced under warranty. Just waiting on the windows . . .

I haven't read through it in a while. Not sure on how many exit windows are required, where or what dimensions or other details. You might do some googling and look for a free copy you can read.

Our TT has a bedroom separated by a solid door. Even though it has an exterior door in the bedroom, it has an exit window in addition to the one in the kitchen/living area.

You should have at least one exit window and if the bedroom has a screen or curtain, it might be that an exit window isn't required in the bedroom or perhaps if it is within a certain distance from the first one isn't required. Our 1st TT was a 200 footer and had one exit window which was in the bedroom.

If it's not code compliant, you shouldn't have any issues getting the issue taken care of. If it doesn't comply, it might help to have the code clause(s) in hand that you can show to the dealer and/or manufacturer.

That would be one LONG trailer . . . LOL!

Is there supposed to be an emergency exit window in each sleeping space?
I saw a video presentation on my 2019 TT showing all emergency exit windows on the left side. I have one by the master bed, but a same size slider by the convertible dinette and the upper bunk (lower bunk has a outside storage access door). The siding windows are fine WHEN ITS NOT RAINING. The sliding window over the sink is protected by the awning.

Sounds like a Friday afternoon mistake, I would think the trailer manufacturer isn't going to give you a lot of flak about having it fixed since it's a serious safety issue and they're not following code without the emergency exit. Forest River had a recent recall for the same issue, going back 2 model years so the age of the trailer shouldn't matter.

Your driver side window isn't an emergency egress type with a red handle at the bottom? This listing shows a 2018 with the emergency window on the driver side of the bedroom. If you don't have a red handle window there I would definitely think it's a major factory screwup and should be remedied without complaint from the manufacturer as they're looking at a massive lawsuit should you have an issue!

Nope. None are egress windows and none are marked EXIT.
