As the title says....anyone ever see a coach with either one of those options? I know it was offered on the Hughes coaches but mine doesnt have them.

I will ask the person who owns it to take a picture and send it.

My coach has one over each of the driver side and passenger side. Not sure if they were aftermarket or not. They tilt up. Unfortunately the hardware has started to disintegrate on both And I haven't had much luck on the Internet finding replacements to the hardware. I have taped down the pass. side to keep it from flying off!

If you're thinking about adding a sunroof here's what the ceiling looks like without the headliner.

A sunroof may work in colder climates but the wraparound glass in the cockpit allows lots of light and heat inside already. Usually more than you want and more heat than even a good dash A/C can handle.

Thanks JP....no it was more to see what they look like as it was an option on our coach. The dual glass on the other hand might be interesting though.
