Finding dual pane windows on a used motorhome
Looking to buy our first motorhome, and one of our "must have" features is dual pane windows.
Having attended a few RV shows and visited a few dealers in WV, Ohio, and Kentucky, my experience has been that dual pane seems to be available only on MHs where it is standard equipment. My impression is that dealers do not order dual pane as an option for new units for their inventory.
Since we will be buying used, and since I'm likely to have to travel a great distance to find a MH that meets our needs, I've done a lot of research to determine what makes and models and what years of MHs have dual pane glass as standard, expecting that my choices will be limited to those. I expect that I should forget about any realistic possibility of finding dual pane glass on a MH where it was an available option.
Is this a reasonable expectation? Or are there areas of the country (perhaps the North) where dealers will commonly order the dual pane glass option, so used units with it will be more common?
Thanks,
Wayne
