My comment are intended for the OP. But, did you read the OP's statement?

I have single pane windows in my 05 Carriage 5er. I was thinking of replacing them with double pane.

. I think that means all at once and probably at least 10 windows. Have a nice day.

Yep, you're right...got us off topic and for that, I apologize...Yes, it would be a major investment then...Got caught up in something else and got off course. Again, sorry about that. You provided pertinent information to the OP, something that they should think seriously about.

thank's for reeling me in:)..oh, I also denoted sarcasm on your "have a nice day"...again, I did apologize for taking it off topic and gave you credit for the good information, all without being sarcastic...but I understand why some do this...to drive home a point, right?

I think dayle meant he was done commenting on this subject when he said have a nice day. Not being sarcastic. JMHO

Article in Trailer Life begs to differ with your assessment...Experts feel it very well may be worth it. My windows are dual pane Hehr windows, came dark tinted...no issues, zip, nil, nada..Cut's down on noise and even the Trailer Life article stated they DO add SOME insulation, helping heating and helping in cooling...check out the article, supports having them...Will never own an rv again unless it has dual pane windows, insulated or whatever tag you want to put on them.

Pay back on investment seems also to seem it's "worth it"...had them on an 04 Coachmen and difference in trade with them was the exact same amount they cost me....after 3 years..yeah, worth it to some of us:)

You misunderstand my point, dual pane windows may be worth the cost as an option at the time of construction. I certainly think so as they were a big factor in my decision. and cost was around $1000 on my new rig. However, to remove maybe 10 single pane windows, buy and install new dual pane windows might cost $5000, That is a much higher cost and harder to justify.

And you have to actually be paying for the electricity to get ANY "payback".

Road runner,how about the price?

This past spring I had to replace one on my rig as it got blown out on US10 outside of New Orleans. The cost was around $435 installed. If I remember correctly the window was $280 + shipping. Shipping was expensive. The window was one of the long narrow ones on the side of my rig at the back approx. 4ft X10". The only bright point was only the outer pane let go so I was still watertight during rainstorms.

The option cost for DP windows is at least $1000-$1500, in many cases even more. Full replacement cost is likely twice that. Not sure if the benefit is worth that much, only you can decide.

On my last unit with single pane windows, I added a 2nd pane, but only on the fixed portion of each window. If you have large fixed glass areas with small vent glass, it will provide some benefit. I used 3/16 inch plexiglas and a rubber 'H' gasket from JCWhitney. Cost about $200 including Gila RV window tint film on all glass.
