I know this topic has been tossed around a number of times but today I saw the benefit of then with my own eyes. We have dual pane windows in our 5th wheel. A friend with a popular brand 5th wheel was parked next to us. The temperature went down to 28* last night. Our windows were nice and dry on the inside. Theirs were wet and had water running down their walls. So this is one benefit to duel panes and I'm glad we have them even though we had problems with them. We had 6 windows that fogged up between the pane. The manufacture did replace them.

They had water running down their walls??? The only fair comparison would be if they had a Carrilite with single panes.

Interesting post. Our 5'er has SPW's. We wrestled with the SPW/DPW decision when we ordered our 5'er in 2003 and decided on SPW's. We've been in sustained sub-freezing temps as low as 12 degrees F for a few days at a time during our travels and never have we had water running down our walls. Or the windows for that matter. There has been on a rare occassion (12 degrees F in Iowa & NY for a week each) when we'll see a little frost buildup on the inside kitchen window but it's not enough to generate much in the way of water run. Guess we're just lucky.Happy camping!!! See y'all down the road!!!:)

Love my DPs. Never had *any* moisture on them.

A had 4 5th wheels with SP windows. All of them had window sweating when the Temp dropped. My new 5th has DP windows. They DO NOT sweat when the temp drops. I will never own another rig without DP windows.

dual pane windows are ok if you feel you need them. We are always in moderate climates not to hot, not to cold. We have never had water running down walls, fogging on inside except when wife was cooking inside with not enough ventilation. If we felt Dual panes were necessary we would have them. They do have a small noise factor.
