When I had my hybrid, those canvas rooms on the ends could open on all three sides, so we had windows on all 4 sides. Now we only have windows on the left and right, and it makes it hard to get a breeze through there - had to buy battery operated fans (which eat up some batteries quick).

Wish mine didn't have a front window. Ours leaked, and I figured that it had been leaking for a long time before I found out. We never even raise the "rock shield" on ours anymore, just no need.
I think it is good for the camper companies to stop making a front window standard. It should be an option, and from my experience I wouldn't pay extra for it.

When we had front dinning area - yes the window was nice, upgrade TT and have the bedroom in the front and NO window.....love it - my head does not get cold on those chilly nights.
Our TT has the living area in the rear and we have a HUGE window back there - so when we back into the waterfront sites (we love to have) the view is wonderful!
It is all a matter of the layout of your TT and your personal preference!

We have one and never use it. Its also hard to clean with the rockguard over it, I would not miss it. we have plenty of windows and IMO the front is the most likely to leak while towing in the rain.

I agree with Poppa & Nana. If you have a TT with the dinette table on the front then the front window is nice. (But, on one of my previous TT it did leak.) However, if you have the dinette table on the side and the bathroom on the back like my present TT does then there is no need for a front window. My trailer has one but, I hardly ever open up the rock guard or the shade.

Glad to not have a front window on our new TT after going through severe leaks on our front bunk on our old Hybrid TT. I think the front end needs to be sealed tight after our experiences.
One of the things that we love with our new TT is all the light and windows inside. Made the transition from our Hybrid easier. We have a large curbside dinette window so for the first time we can look out on our campsite and not at the neighbors. And our rear double stacked bunks have windows on the both the rear and side walls, up and down, along with a skylight above the top bunk, which gives the rear bunks a similar feel to the open canvas bunks we loved on our nice days in our old Hybrid.

Our TT doesn't have one and yes I miss being able to see what is going on in that direction.
