    To let the light in or keep it dark, what's your choice?

    They have curtains to keep it dark that's never been an issue with my KW bunks. For me it's more about the cold and even had one driver break a side window out of a T2000 but on balance I'd say yes to windows.

    The 2005 Volvo my husband drove years ago had nice wide side windows, and combined with the front window, it was like a panoramic view going down the road. I say yes to windows, curtains can be put up and never opened unless you want them open.

    We actually shut our truck off, when we sit. Windows are good for air! I snap the curtains open during the day. I close them when changing clothes, etc. I open them at night. Always open to get a breeze.

    I've had both. I have windows now and like the others said, you can close the curtains if you want to keep light out. I much prefer having windows.
