Hello all,Am new to this forum and come to this knowledgeable group of people with a question on a particular travel trailer style.My husband and I are approaching age 40 and have been long time owners of his grandfather's classic 1978 Carriage 28' trailer. It's served us well, with two little boys, and well cared for as hubby is a shop teacher. However, we're planning a change to something newer and (ahem) lighter to pull.The style we like is the travel trailer with the large rear facing window. What year did that style begin becoming popular? Financially we'd have to go with an early to mid 2000's model. Also are there particular brands/makes that more commonly have this style?Many thanks,Tricia

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 a 2005 model.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.

Our current KZ Jag 28JFSS is a rear living with a large picture window. Like mentioned above, great for the view in state parks and water front sites. Our soon to be delivered Jayco 28RLS is also rear living with a large picture window. Jayco has made the 28RLS for at least 10 years. My only complaint with the newer trailers in general is we haven't found one with an open bathroom like our Jag.

Hi, I am responding to a bit of an old thread here, but have a question for those of you with this floorplan. I am looking to buy one similar to this. But when we were checking it out, one of the concerns is that the TV mounting location is far away from the recliner chairs, so that you kind of have to look "over" the kitchen counter.

And the couch is on the same wall as the TV, so you can't really see it very well.

Have you found this to be a problem when using your Rear Lounge trailer?

Specifically, we're looking at the Evo 2600 by Forest River.

We had that exact layout with our 2008 Keystone Springdale 266RL. We put a 27" tv in that spot and never really thought twice about it being too far away. We actually lived in the trailer for 8 months and traveled in it for years and I never thought about looking over the counter. We typically had one person sitting in the rocker away from the door and one on the couch.
