The Louvered windows are a source of dust or sand inside a van. Been camped in a windy spot with them and they leak...I seen this on every bus and RV we've camped with. Little piles of sand on the countertops, grimy dishes in the sink. We learned to be careful to park with the louvered windows away from the wind...that isn't so great always.....I don't care for them .

Also, the glass slats fall out of them and they are easy to pull out, should someone want to break in..
