I can see why you would flush tanks every time in Texas temps.

Very true. Since we brought our Escape to the southern US, we have seen a few issues that some in the North would probably neither notice nor care about. The Escape crew has been super in working through these issues with us.

The 5.0 is different than the 19. The 19s I have seen have a translucent square white opening door in the ceiling that looks like it would give decent airflow and nice daylight. Our 5.0 has a powered exhaust fan topped with a black translucent dome. When operating, good airflow. When open but not operating it gives just a bit of natural airflow. When closed it transmits little daylight. Before the window, we had to turn on the bathroom light every time.
Our trailer does not have a convenient window on the curb side to pass the hose through. As noted above, we also attempt to rinse the black tank at every dump. We have installed a black tank rinser, which works at about 75 percent of the dump stations. Very useful device. So in our case, the main purposes for the window are ventilation and to provide light. And it does a heck of a job!
