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?

Have them in my home, would never consider them in an RV. When you consider the total surface area of glass in a towable RV vs. the total surface area of walls and roof (and floor), and despite the manufacturer claims of insulation "R" values, more heat gain/loss is taking place through the rest of the trailer's structure than its windows. I personally think a blackout style shade would do more to cut heat transmission through a trailer's windows.
I've been in trailers at RV shows with "insulated" double pane windows. Standing in front of a window on the "sunny" side of the trailer, I couldn't perceive a dime's worth of difference between a double pane window and standard RV window. Save your money................
As far as condensation in cooler weather, proper air and moisture "management" (ventilation) inside the trailer will take care of that. I have never experienced a condensation problem in either of our trailers.
