Travel trailer style w large rear window

We also love the large rear window as it works really well for back in sites in state parks, and various on water sites. We have a 31' Rvision Trail-Bay Lite (Pic in Profile). We have a 2005 model.

We recently moved from our HTT to a Rockwood Ultra Lite 2604 and towing with an F-150 CC with factory tow and 5.4. The living area is at the rear and has the large rear window and plenty of windows around the sofa with air mattress, and dinette. Ours is a 2013 model, but I believe they made this model in earlier years. The downside I see to having a unit with the large rear window is that most of those - unless you get over the 30' - 32' size - would have only one bed and you'd be making up a sofa and/or dinette every evening.

It would help to know what you'll be towing with. Our 2604 has a dry weight of somewhere around 5500# or so - can't recall the exact number, but the GVWR is 6629#. Try to add that info to your next post with any specs re towing/weight and you should get more complete ideas. Good luck....we also love the large rear window. You might check into the 2604 and see how far back it goes and if that fits your budget, but you would have to make up the sofa bed nightly. Good luck.

We have a 1985 Fleetwood Wilderness and it has a large rear window. :) We love it!!

We have the same one and love ours too. They are called rear lounge or rear living. Our is a 2007. see pic in my sig.

Our TT has the large rear window and we love it! As mentioned, I don't think they are available in a bunkhouse model, but I have not searched every mfg out there either. Most that I have seen have the rear living. Not sure what your budget is but don't discount buying new. You can sometimes find dealers with leftover models that they really want to move. Good luck in your search.

We had a large rear picture window in our 1st TT (20' Coachmen Catalina, rear dinette) and we really miss it. The rear window not only lets in a lot of light, it sure is great when you're backed up to a nice view.

Any unit with a rear bunkhouse or bathroom is obviously out and a rear kitchen is also out. If looking just at floor plans on the internet, look closer at TTs with a rear dinette, swivel chairs or sofa at the back.

Not a whole lot of rear windows out there from what I've seen and you'll just have to do a bunch of research. No idea when they first became popular. Will not be easy to research on the internet because manufacturer's floor plans are for the current model year. If you google older models including the year, sometimes the dealer selling it will have a link to the floor plan and photos. If you google "travel trailer rear window" or "travel trailer picture window" you will find google image links to possibilities. If you click on any one of the photos, you will find a link to where the photo came from and find the make & model info. for some of them.

We love our Outback. It's kind of long, but the windows and space is wonderful. The inside photo just does not show it all. On both slides, there's three windows also, one facing forward, one facing backward, one facing the side. With this and the big window on the rear, ... it's just ... GREAT!

My thanks to you for your input, and guidance about what other information is helpful.

After a text message exchange with my spouse, I have the truck towing capacity information.

It's a 1996 Chevy Silverado half ton, with a towing capacity of 8,000 lbs. We've also used the truck to tow our 28' 1964 Pearson Express cruiser (fiberglass), a heft of a boat.

There are some nice trailers with rear living areas that are nice. They never worked out for us as we needed a place for the kids so we have a bunkhouse. My wife has a rule of having sleeping for all without using the table and couch. She never wanted to set it up and we are usually up before the kids and if she wanted to sit inside...

That said, maybe someday if we find one with a full outside kitchen. Good luck in your search, looks like there are some nice models posted here.

That style trailer has been around a long time but became more popular in the early to mid 2000's in TT's. Mine is a 2006 and it has given us many great trips and memories.
