Back window-blew out
We have owned “Flo” for one year. On our 5th trip out today, we noticed this as we stopped for gas! Window is completely gone. No dents. No glass inside. Any ideas how this could have happened?[ATTACH]

It almost looks like the entire rear aluminum panel is also pushed out, but difficult to know from a single photo.

Was the roof vent or another window open while towing?

Possibly you forgot to latch/lock the window closed, can lead to window flopping in the wind.
