How many side windows are in your coach?
How many open?
How many times/how often do you open them?

8 not counting the driver and entry.
How many open---NOT ENOUGH (2) Bedroom
Used frequently during the summer months.

We keep thinking about having a couple in the lounge reworked so the bottom portion opens and we could get some cross ventilation, but they would have to modify the walnut trim on the interior and leave a gap along the edge of it for them to work right. That and the cost is pretty high. We were quoted $1800. for 2 if we bring the coach to them in Vancouver, Wa.

Six total not counting driver side or front door - four emergency windows, two sliders, all open. The sliders with screens are opened for ventilation in good weather, but they are all serving as emergency exits in addition to two roof hatches. Beyond letting in light, their most important feature is as exits.

we have all 12 original windows. 4 Slide 1/2 open. we open these a lot when parked and cook in the coach. We have inside screens on those and its good for the 3 cats we have. i made carpet covered ledges for them to lay on and look out the windows. The rest are fixed but do open out and up on the original hinges on top which all 12 also do. We open them up to work on things like the shower back wall plumbing or running wiring can just open these and get to all parts or put large things in or out like the Bedroom queen mattress.

First bus first two years living in it, zero windows. Then put in 4 windows all opened. New bus, had 6 windows before conversion, removed all but two. Adding two more later. All will open. Windows are overrated. Look at half the fifth wheels an rvs. Small few windows. And, most people at every resort I go to have reflectix in at least half the windows in their rv. Seriously people, if you're gonna cover half of them, why even have them.

8 windows, they all open.  4 of them are jalousie crank out windows that are left open all summer, even if we're not using the bus.  It keeps the inside cooler.  We rarely use air conditioning when were camping, so the slider windows are open almost all the time weather permitting.

All original windows in the bus, mid-slider modified to open widely and a screen installed, both rear windows have Peninsula screened slider inserts installed.  Use the all the time while parked.  MC-5C MCI bus.

MCI 102A3 with all original windows intact.

8 windows can be opened.

I have built 6 screens with cedar frames and so can have 6 open at any one time.  Anywhere from 3 to 6 are open on a daily basis right now.....this varies with the weather of course.

hmmm.
i have 6.
they all open.
i hardly ever open them.
if i want fresher air i use my roof vent with or without fan.
in a driving monsoon they leak enough to dampen a paper towel,i might just seal a few at least the curb sides contribute to the view most places... but in rvparks,the roadside..not so much, might be different if the neighbor was further away.

opening windows are over rated
if money was no object i'd have 32 inch monitors and joystick controlled cameras.

Except when there is an accident or fire and you need to get out quick, then they come in handy.

9 windows - all open with screens. Very nice to have options. . . .

they call me danger ranger.
i just don't think nine exits are needed.
school buses have 2

13 windows, 3 open and two roof hatches.

6 windows including the really small bedroom window. All are horizontal sliders. Plus two power vents, two emergency hatches, the entry door and the drivers mini slider(no screen but I may make something up for that).

[Bill B /bus]

Seven sliders installed, Penninsula/Motion windows, two more for door and driver. Even here in  South Texas with the temps hitting 90+ during the afternoon we use the AC from about noon until 6 or 7PM. three fanatastic vents pull the air out with some windows opened.

On the road open the right side bedroom window and the door and driver sliders and you will be cool.

On the comment about the sticks and staples(S/S) not having many windows, we have noticed the days in the mid  80's we are fine with breeze, always a breeze in the valley, and the windows open. Where as the S/S are running the AC units to stay somewhat cool.
