I have one plastic window in mine as well, because the window shattered while the previous owner was towing it. He felt that sometimes the road stress causes flex and bang - there goes your window. Bad luck I guess.

I couldn't make it without opening my windows. We have retreated to the trailer on more than one camping adventure where we wanted to get away from the flys and skeeters, and we were happy to have those screened windows. Also on a hot day I'll just leave them open so the trailer's not such a hot box when we get back. We were in Sisters Oregon last year, and it was over 100 out, and we had the windows open all day and night because hot breeze was better than no breeze, and inside was our only shade to get away from the sun. The windows bobbed up and down a bit, but I saw no problem with leaving them open even in strong wind.

Here are my window awnings. They did protect it from being run into by some guys walking by at a star party last year. I heard them saying, 'if I hadn't seen that awning I would have walked right into it!'
