Frameless windows

This goes out to those of you that have the new frameless windows. We are looking at upgrading to a travel trailer. Some have the frameless windows that look like they don't allow for much ventilation. Any info from those of you that have personal experience with these windows, would be appreciated!

I've got a 2306 with frameless windows. The do open quite far from the base. Enough to pass drinks from the inside to the outside.

There is also a mod you can find where you can get even more of the window to open by drilling out the rivets and replacing them with bolts. Thus you can have them open reaaaaaaaaaaal wide.

I like them and have had no problems and plenty of ventilation. I also have two Maxxair fans to assist with ventilation. But as anything its personal preference. Some people insist on the framed windows.

X2. Plus on the rare occasion it rains, they can be opened up with less chance of rain coming in through the window.

we have them and i like much better than the framed window, you get enough ventilation and when it rains there is no track for water to sit in and unless it is raining sideways less chance for water getting in

If I upgrade from this rig I will not go with the frameless. they look great, plenty of ventilation which is good. they also come open while driving and the operating hardware is cheap pot metal that brakes. Having my entire kitchen window replaces on 1 Nov because of this.
