Looking for a DP with a back window.

Coming from a 5'ver, really miss the rear window, most campsites seem to have the view set behind you. Class A's usually have an enclosed back end. I miss my view. Ideas?

There's a number of gasser Class A's with rear windows, but it's typically over the bed, so not much help for sight seeing. We just pull in the other way around when there's a good view behind the site.

Copy and paste'd from rule book. My copy from 2008, might of been changes in the one or two newer additions, so double check. Appears to me rear window on motor homes are legal if they comply with below. (I know for sure the OEM's got water pressure spec's changed (lowered) in newer additions, so for sure double check). So a lot depends of date of manufacture to what rules they play by.

6.4.3.5 Vents or windows that can be opened for ventilation shall not be installed in the rear wall of motor home and truck campers.

6.4.3.6 Normally unopenable alternate exit windows shall be permitted in rear walls.

6.4.3.7 Rear entry doors with fixed windows shall be permitted in truck campers.

6.4.3.8 Rear entry doors with fixed windows shall be permitted in motor homes, provided that no combustion exhausts discharge from the rear of the vehicle.

It's either a closet or the bathroom back there, never a window. Nose your DP into the space and you get the view.

I have a backup camera that I think is as good as a rear window. Most DPs have cameras.

I feel your pain ๐Ÿ™‚ We had 3 5th wheels with the big back window and that was the only models we would consider. Our MH is totally front window oriented. Even the side windows get fewer as you move back.

It hasn't bothered us too much, but at times I felt like turning it around and running the cord underneath ๐Ÿ™‚

I don't ever recall seeing a DP with a rear window. With all of the air intake plumbing and other stuff I'm not sure it would be reasonably possible.
There are 24 hours in every day - it all depends on how you choose to use them.
