Over the July 4th week end we visited Ft. Wilderness campground at Walt Disney World. Great campground by the way. While there we saw quiet a number of Airstreams. Some vintage and some new and some in between. As we were driving out on July 3rd, we saw a Soveirgn coming into the entrance that was mid-80's by my guess and probably 25-28 ft in length that had the wrap around windows at both ends. I recently saw a photo of a similar unit, but this is the first one I have seen in person. Anybody know anything about this year model and any details? It was being towed by a female driver (on a cell phone) driving a white or silver Toyota SUV I think. I paid more attention to the Airstream. Was that anyone on the Forums?

Generally, the rear-wrap windows are in coaches with rear bedrooms.

Okay, okay! The rear-wrap windows were an extra-cost option generally available on coaches with rear bedrooms.

Mine is the rear bedroom but no wrap around in the rear. Bet they look pretty cool.

I scanned around and found an interior photo of an Argosy 30 (?) with a rear bedroom, and wrap windows. I even think the photo is from a forum member. If it is yours, let me know so I can give you credit:

The windows were definately the full wrap style of the later and current Airstreams that were introduced through the Argosy line. I am sure it was an '80's model or later. It had a wide blue line down the side and large contemporary letters that read "sovereign" on the side.

I have located the photos I saw through another post and have attached below. This is not the Airstream I saw, but was surprised to see one on the road after seeing these photos just a week or so earlier. The one I saw didn't have the aluminum wheels though. It had steel wheel covers.
