Trailers that favor beach viewing, offshore winds


This seems like an issue many Baja folks have had....

I've been looking for a large 30 to 40 foot 5th wheel that has good viewing windows on the door side of the trailer. The trailer is going to live at the beach and the door will face the beach (b/c of the prevailing wind direction).

And what's the point of living on the beach if you can't see the ocean from inside the trailer?

Most layouts seem to have only small kitchen windows on the door side.

Anyone have any suggestions on brands or makes I should research? I've trolled through several manufacturers websites with no luck.

Ahh, I see that it's generally the ones with bunks (I have two young kids) that have the problem I'm describing. Nice photos, Lee.

Joel,

check out www.Craigslist.com and go to RV's for whatever area your in. Plenty of used units in there, at least good for comparison...




Haven't had a bad trip yet....

Fleetwood has a 24' - 26' Pioneer bunk model with the kitchen on the opposite side.
Pioneer also has a larger model with the kitchen in the front.
If you go to the Fleetwood website, they show floor plans for all of the models they make under various brand names.
Most manufacturers have similar websites.
