Lol. Thanks for all the good thoughts, and smiles. My own preference is for windows, sunshine, and views, but we won't/can't ride in the trailer and that does make a difference. The issue is strictly while being parked. We didn't realize about that front window problem, so that's good to know.
Long ago out west we always just pulled off in the wilderness somewhere. But now that it's so colorfully pointed out, it's obvious that the views travelling the east will all too often be right in the window of the unit parked alongside than out over a valley. And vice versa.
Cheaper construction is definitely sounding like the dominating cause, no surprise of course. But even if climate control, water tightness, weight advantages aren't driving this, responses make me wonder if these could be valid tradeoffs for many buyers, the same of course for more room for cabinets, MW, TV.
Phillyg, it's nice to hear you prefer fewer windows since price and weight,and tight market with few choices popping up only to be snatchd up by others, will drive our purchase. (We were still 10 minutes out today when a good one was sold to someone who lived closer.) Same for a cozy bed; that part actually sounds quite appealing. Given a choice, I'd definitely choose the end dinette Ppines mentions for relaxing while hubby fishes, tho.
FrankShore, that Lance 1575 is a thing of beauty. A nice middle between the old sunrooms and today's relative bunkers. Certainly no need to turn lights on in the afternoon.
I actually feel better about both old and new styles. No one's said all those windows were a big problem if we end up with one of those, and there are some advantages to fewer. Thanks again.
