double pane windows worth it?
Looking for a new 5er. One dealer said that the double pane windows only increase the R insulation factor by +1 or +2. That may be, but I also thought the double panes decreased the water condensatio...

Well, if a single pane window has an R value of 1, an increase to an R value of 2 cuts thermal transmission by 50%, so it's hardly insignificant. Add to that the additional benefits of noise reduction and reduction/elimination of condensation inside the RV in cold temperatures. I've had RVs without dual pane windows and our current RV has them - I can certainly tell the difference, and they're worth it to us. YMMV. Your money - your choice.

I agree. We love our thermo pane windows for a variety of reasons. But I just wasn't sure if I was reading it wrong. The sales guy said that they increase the insulation factor by a factor of 1 or 2...which is what they do. Must have missed something.
