Broken rear window
I just discovered today that someone broke one of the crankout awning windows (7”x42” approx) in the rear of the 5vr. I called the local Keystone dealer and he said I’d be better off going to a glass...

Just had a large 3 panel frameless window replaced on my 5th wheel. The top panel had shattered. I used duct tape to hold the glass together until I could get it replaced. I have glass coverage on my insurance so called them. They made arrangements with a local RV glass installer as well as Lippert who made the window. Took 4 weeks for them to get the glass in and local shop came out and installed it.
Shop said they never replace the glass only. Always the entire window assembly. Too many issues and complaints after replacing glass itself. In the corner of all windows is a code that specifies the manufacture of the glass. On mine it indicated Lippert. On Lippert windows the part # is on a sticker on the inside of the frame. Have to remove all screws and pull off mounting rig to expose the label. Once that was known, the ordered and exact replacement. Note that RV windows are often expensive, $500-$1000.
