Steve, I'm getting one with windows Just have to decide single pane or double pane and where. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Buying a totally custom built trailer is new to me. I didn't have this many kinds of decsions when buying my sticks 'n bricks home!

No Francesa, getting the double-pane windows. Zero condensation... can't have it ALL. Now, if some window manufacturer made double pane RV windows that were jalousies.. I'd go.. hummm. Remember, I'm looking to camp when it's typically colder than just shoulder season. YMMV

Love those single-pane jalousies though!

Congrats Donna

It makes me wonder about the old style storm windows for houses. You had the windows that opened on the inside and when winter came you attached the solid pane on the outside to keep the elements out. Much like the window guard on the Trilliums.

YAHOO Donna, congrats on the new addition. One question for you, although I'm SURE you've already checked, but is it going to clear the roof on your eggport ?

No Barb, it's a bit more than 20' We haven't gotten factual measurements/weights, etc.

I'm number 10 off the line. I hope to pick it up June 30th!
