I guess we just got lucky. Actually - the window thing was on our minds, but never thought about the venting of hot gases... We have tons of windows (that can be completely opened in the rain), all the exhaust goes out the driver's side, and the water tanks are centered around the axles (fresh water between, grey water in front, and black water behind).
Looks like somebody was thinking...

We have always used the fire escape window in the bedroom,,never knew you weren't supposed to  Why dont you use them?? We also have a door in out bedroom, but unless we are out camping alone I dont like to leave it open at night! I also dont like those frosted glass windows in the door. We looked at the Open Range at the RV show this year, I like the doors in those RV's.
I miss our PUP on certain locations! Talk about sleeping in the breeze...like a big hammock!

As Wandalust2 mentioned, we have square windows! We're fixing up an '85 Wilderness with Square windows, lots of big ones with jalousie openers. Here in the rainy Pacific NW you need lots of untinted square windows to let in what little light there is.

There's a warning on ours saying to only use them in an emergency, so we just don't. Our emergency windows are very different than the regular windows. The regular ones are made of two halves that you crank open at an angle. The emergency windows are one piece, and I'm sure they'll move way out of the way when you open them, although I never have. It's the only way you'd ever fit through them. Of course, at 8 months pregnant, I'm only going out the door right now. I just hope I can always get there.

And that would be one of my points. And is that the water heater on the awning side?
Thats a stock pic of the trailer. All my utilities are on the back side. PLus the storage you see towards the rear is also on the back side and much bigger. this is more of what it looks like.

Try and find a new TT with those square windows and jalousie windows. It almost can't be done.

Ours are so small that only an agile kid or very thin agile adult would fir through them.

Not sure I share the same feeling of those who opinion that there not enough windows. I currently have 12 windows on my trailer including the one on the door. One thing I would love to have though is a window in the bathroom. Would be nice to have a breeze going and hear the birds singing while doing my "business".

And if your thinking of cold weather camping those crankout old air leaking windows were the worst!

I heard tell they are, but my Sunline's windows don't leak air. The jalousie window frames all have edge seals. We've camped in the mountains of West(by-gawd)Virginia in some rough winds with nary a problem. We usually have to crack at least one to vent moisture.
