Is it important to get dual pane windows?
We plan to live in our ours for 6 months stretches....in South GA and in Southern CA. Would we need the dual pane?

My take on dual panes is you must full time or at least 3/4 time for them to be worthwhile. 90% of the time utilities are included in the site fee and there is minimal financial return through energy savings. Dual panes will not pay for themselves through energy savings.You will not get a savings from reduced energy use as you do in a sticks and bricks.
For the most part RV'ers are not used in extreme cold where propane savings maybe possible.
The only real benefit is interior sound reduction, I don't think they are worth the extra cost just to reduce exterior noises.
A 2nd or even 3rd A/C is more beneficial than dual panes in my book.
I believe dual panes were a $2,000.00-$2,500.00 option when I purchased my unit.
I added quite a few options but I passed on the dual panes.
For the record, You can still get a good deal on a unit if you order it. The dealer does not have to inventory the unit and can pass that savings on to the buyer. I special ordered my unit exactly the way I wanted it and I got a very good deal. The key to special ordering is to have done your research and know exactly what you want when you place order. All questions and issues should be resolved.
In order to get a good deal You should be very familiar with the unit you want and have all details figured out. You should be at a point where the dealer just gives you an option sheet,you check off what you want including interior colors.
Sign paper work and give a deposit. Ordering can and should be a simple straight forward no haggle transaction for both parties.
