...with windows of any size it is important to size the HVAC corrrently....also consider insulation....most factory coaches/trailers are very poorly insulated/sealed and use oversized HVAC unites....like underbelly unites.....[waste of energy and money-IMO]...installs are usually poor and have leaky seams.....I saw a 60,000 BTU unit on a trailer in Columbus.....that is enough to run my house down to 40 below with a 20 mph wind factor.....and then there is the A/C issue......every trailer or coach should be able to cool down and keep a 72 degree temp on a 100 degree day at 100% humidity....there is also the ventulation issue as many coaches and trailers are not vented properly and have a high moisture load as well as a mold load in southern clims....people are actually dying in their own air waste products and mildew and mold spores......let alone the issue of formaldehyde off gassing....10% of the population is allergic to formaldehyde in any form....so windows are important but the whole system must be matched.....geofkaye
