I'm looking for a smaller, easy to pull travel trailer that's light and airy with lots of windows. Can you give me some suggestions. Thanks.

Look at Lil Snoozy, very light weight, and with the option to have 3 windows that take up about 75% of the outside walls. Only downside is if you're a boondocker the factory setup is all-electric. However several folks have had them leave things roughed in for gas appliances and then taken the trailer down the road from the factory and had a gas installer hook up their propane appliances.

We have a Pacific Coachworks Mighty Lite 20RLS. Has a lot of windows and an awesome back window. Love backing up at the lake and having the view from the dinette.

While I wouldn't say it has "a lot of windows", the ones it does have are very large, and occupy a high percentage of the trailer wall. They should be perfect for a wrangler tow rig.

I think the Lance 1575 has the best windows, the larger acrylic dual pane Dometic.

Copy that. Our 25 ft. Bigfoot had many large windows and a skylight. The bright airy interior was one of its many virtues. Since it has no studs or wall framing I guess there aren't as many limitations to window size. The Bigfoot trailers have reflective coating (mirror like) instead of heavy tint so i think they let more light in. Some trailers are like caves.

Goo idea. I have a 21 footer with NOT enough windows.

It really is all about the floor plan.

That's awesome, wished it had a separate toilet/shower. I hate when they are together as one like this. But other than that, I love it.

How small is small?

I bought a "small" toy hauler; During the day, the ramp is down and the whole
back of the RV is one big window. Obviously only work in good weather.

Most of the small trailers that I looked at only had windows in three directions. One thing we like is the open airy dinette view in our Jayco 154BH. Jayco still has the front window with the fold down visor which allows a panoramic view while enjoying our morning coffee. It is not just square feet of windows, it is also about placement.

One of our biggest disappointments in going from a popup to a TT was the major reduction in window area. There's nothing like zipping all of the windows open on a popup on a nice fair day and turning it into one giant screen room. This is part of the reason we want our next trailer to be a rear living room 5-er with glass on 3 sides.
