I drive on road trips all the time with mine open. Other than the curtain

I would suggest making an easily removeable curtain rod so you can take them
down on road trips. That is, if you are going with curtains.

Thanks Sammie,
And as far as "correctness", this bus is about as far from correct as you can
get.
I am putting Jalousie windows in a 13 window deluxe! Blasphemy!
