How do you envision this working or what would the point of it? Is it an Ethernet port to extend coverage inside the trailer? Is it just a DC power port? Both?

I don’t know the full details, it was what I learned during a conversation while at the recent rally. With the Mini, there is no need for an additional plug.  Maybe these plugs would be for regular standard SL set up.

Just speculating on other possible changes here.😎

New upgraded sound system?

New style/type of flooring and update on seat cushion color/cover options?

A direct dedicated plug for  Starlink?

Induction cook top similar to the  (pic) replacing the LP burners maybe? 🤔 

Just me but my only interest is the new windows. I know most of you prefer the current sliding windows, I do not like these windows at all - leaks, shrinking window seal/gaskets, side window tracks on the newer models cannot be removed to clean out the tracks/weep holes (yes I know there’s a thread on how to clean them)…I just never had RV windows before requiring so much maintenance! So if the new windows are dual pane with black out shades, can tilt out fully and by some miracle will fit our current window openings, then yes I will take out a second mortgage to go that route!

I'm with you... as long as they are DIY, made of glass and open far enough to make me happy. My windows are already getting "the fog" and I'd rather put the money to repair them towards these new windows if the satisfy my needs.

Agree with @rich.dev and @CRM Never have cared for the existing windows and have always felt they were one of the weakest points with the Oliver's. I had the European style windows on my T@b many years ago and felt they were far superior in most cases. Oddly enough never experienced any scratches, although one of the round non opening ones got broken in a hail storm. The last time I checked the company did not make those style of window wide enough to fit the existing Oliver rough openings. Seems like I read somewhere Dometic had either bought the original company. Loved those windows. Oliver windows, not so much.

Here’s a post on Facebook showing the new bathroom window, looks like a full tilt out awning window!

It appears to be the type of frameless windows that Escape trailers have used for a number of years, but now appear to no longer be offered by Escape as an option.  Perhaps because there were a number of reported instances of the windows being broken by rocks hitting the exposed edges of the glass while under tow.  Escape has now moved on to the type of awning window offered by Tern Overland, which has always struck me as the option I would prefer.  I hope Oliver pivots to the Tern type window rather than ones liked pictured above.

Not sure if everyone will be able to open this link, it’s an OTT post on LinkedIn about their new windows.

LinkedIn  Post by Oliver on their new windows.

Thanks Mike, and for those people not on LinkedIn, here’s a link of the Oliver Forum thread re the new 2026 windows.

A cool teaser Mike, that clip is also on the Oliver FB page. I learned yesterday from Oliver Service, the new tilt out or “awning style’ windows are manufactured by Lippert, and are tinted bonded/insulated glass. The really good news according to service is the new style windows will allow for a retrofit on existing Olivers. Pricing has yet to be determined. 

They are really sharp looking for sure!

This interior shot was posted on the Oliver FB page for their new Bluetooth speaker. Could this be the interior view of the new windows?

 Now that is really good news!😊

@Mike and Carol maybe move this thread to the “New Windows for 2026?“ thread that’s already 3 pages long.

Done.  Good suggestion.

Nice.

In a previous camper we had windows that could be opened while it was raining, they were very nice, but I like the glass windows Oliver is using even better. Believe some of our windows in #75 might be a different size than late model Ollies, but really like the looks of the new windows.

David, I’m not a FB user so I’m glad you pointed this out!

From the outside these windows look sleek! Inside view, not so much. That’s a lot of black frame for our white interiors.

Off the top of my head, I can't remember the name of the window frame mfg - but - I do know that it is not Lippert.

There are a number of posts here on the Forum regarding the re-stringing of these window frames.  I know from personal experience that doing this job is not the most fun but it is not really all that difficult either.  And doing the re-stringing is a bunch less expensive compared to the purchase of a new frame unit.

Jd, I believe the interior of the Oliver windows will be white. I agree black interior window frames would not look good at all.

I like the OEM equipped sliders! Though until I added the fan, we had not used the rear slider and it’s very difficult to slide.

Laying in bed, it’s a simple one-handed slide to open and to close when it gets colder late at night. Can’t do that with an awning, lock bolts on each side, requiring you to stand up, lean over using both hands. I’ll keep our sliders and with new external rubber they are in great shape considering 10 years of age.

Now we could wish for blinds 3/4” thick vs. these clumsy things that stick out 3” into our living space, my big body or arms hitting them every night, and you can't fully lean back sideways at the dinette table. We don’t, though some have issues with them falling off on bumpy roads.

I like the sliders on our 2022 LE2.  We have a little over 500 miles on the new Alcan springs and I had a couple times that the shade frame loosened up on the bottom and one time where the dinette frame popped off completely on Colorado roads.  Another owner who got the Alcan springs said they settled in after 500 miles.  That was my experience too.  We had some doozies of bumps today from Utah to Oregon and no issues with the shade frames.  Another thing that I noticed is that when a semi passed us, the trailer isn't as affected by it as before.  We had some intense wind guests today and it tracked great.
