All of my writing will be referring to the curb side of the rv as the entry side, and also the side where the "camp" is traditionally.
While looking at various RV's, we like how open some feel more than others, and that has a lot to do with how many windows a unit has, and the window's placement. The sofa/dinette slide outs obviously have the largest and most windows, while the kitchen slides have nearly no windows. A few models have a small window over the stove, under the microwave. (Toyhauler models) The models with the most windows are more appealing to us, no matter which side of the RV they are on (sofa/dinette on curb side and kitchen street side or vice versa).
With that being said, do you prefer an RV with the most windows on the curb/"camp" side or the street side?
Do you prefer/like being able to view the campsite from the inside of your rv, or does it even matter or that big of a deal?
Any input is appreciated. We have a list of about 30 toyhaulers that we are narrowing down as we look, and this topic came up this afternoon while looking through a few units. I hope this makes sense.

then, in the winter time, the windows act as heat sinks.. they absorb the heat and turn it in to cold... so it costs more to heat the unit than one with less windows.. and toy haulers arent known for having good insulation anyway.
the bigger the unit, the worse the problem is, and no matter what manufacture you talk to, they claim they have about the best insulated units in on the market..
we get about 60hrs/2.5 days of use from (2) 5gal/20lb propane cylinders in outside temps of 35-40 degrees... keeping the interior at 68-70 degrees...

For me it's 'as many windows as possible on all sides'.
I purchased all my RV's based on how many windows it had.
IMHO Nothing worse than sitting in a box in a CG unable to see out. :C
My biggest 'no no' is a gen that exhausts under the awning side or I even have seen a hot water heater that exhausted there also. Would like to meet the guy that designed that!!!
We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
