I never liked the bubble windows. I figure if I have windows I want ones that open and privacy is a good thing. Those were for old men. Well, fast forward a few decades and... Hey, who you callin' old? I was going to say "Now I like them for their vintage value"... ok?

Light? I think they are lighter than downtown air! I just got under the middle with my back and walked (slid) it carefully to it's balancing point to get off the back with my son. I could do the whole operation but no need to risk it slipping off making ugly.

Take more detours! I guess Winnebago might have done that for shipping to dealers. Or maybe there were a few regional "authorized assemblers". I had one that was cab-high with the curve running the length of the bed. It was fully insulated and paneled with interior lights... deluxe, and had the woodgrain. It still sits at a friend's farm being used to store junk under. I always look at it thinking I'd like to get it back, but he damaged it pretty well with a tractor or something.
