I am in the process of purchasing my first TC a Lance 825. I have seen the models in person at shows outside of my area and am going to be making my purchase from a distance. I have narrowed it down to two dealers, both with 2016 model years. My dilemma is that one dealer has one with jalousie windows and the other has the sliding windows. While I like the look of the jalousie windows, that dealer is asking a little more for his and won't budge on the price. Looking to get opinions on both from real-life experiences with both. I live in south Florida so the jalousie would seem to be better with rain but at the same time I would also probably be running the AC most of the summer. Any thoughts on either? Are the jalousies worth the extra money (about $500 more)?
Thanks
We took possession of our new trailer last June and were parked at a field getting the 'kinks' out. It was very hot where we were so we left all the slider windows open, as well as the vents and went out to get some supplies. While we were gone a terrific rain storm came in and soaked the bed and anything else close to the windows through both the vents and slider windows. Now we have to make sure we close all the windows when we leave, which is a real pain and makes it hot at times. We do have the vent covers on now - at the time we just had not installed them yet. So, our recommendation would be to have at least two jalousies on opposite sides of the trailer so you can vent and don't need to close everything up.
