What was the factory thinking when they put a WINDOW in the SHOWER in our 1997 RB? One that OPENS!

Ventilation?... letting the steam out? Access point for hose going into toilet for tank flush? Probably reasons like those. I know when I had the RB model, I was very glad for the window.

For me it is very handy. Not big enough for entry so we leave it open on hot days with the thermostatic fan on. When it gets hot the fan turns on and keeps the interior close to outside temp. The window opens into the shower so a ra

Ed told me in 1998 when my wife ask why a window in the bath?  He said some people had complained about  claustrophobia.  His solution was to install a window.  That was straight from the horses mouth.

Did she ask about a window in the bath(room) or in the shower?

The shower window in our 23.5' FL could have been eliminated without any negative effects. It never is opened and is just another place for a leak to occur and for cold and heat to enter.
As for claustrophobia, the curtain completely covers the window.  Most home stall showers do not have windows and yet they seem to work fine for most folks.

When we got into our new 09 RB this July, I could not figure why they put a window inside the shower, and was very concerned about one more place to mildew to grow on a wet curtain...and what if I were showering and inadvertently pushed the curtain aside, revealing all my Glory to the world at large? So I was grumpy about it for a while...but then I discovered its virtues.

1. It does help provide needed ventilation on hot days, airing out the  humidity produced by drying towels without having to run the fan while I am  gone.
2. It  helps dry the damp laundry I put on the collapsible rack in the
 shower, lessening the need for an outside clothesline.
 That said, however, I did learn that if I don¹t close the shower curtain when the window and the its curtain are open, I have a clear view, when seated on the toilet, into my neighbor¹s kitchen in the next spot in the RV park.  I can only guess what they could see!  Enjoy the ventilation, but just be aware of oversharing.

Well Patricia my window in our vintage 85 is tinted and you can't see much, if anything from outside, unless the inside lights are turned on. So no worries!
