Fogged up dual pane window suggestions ?

I have a 2004 Tiffin Phaeton with the dual pane windows and sure enough I noticed yesterday the drivers window must have busted a seal because it is now fogged up and difficult to see out of. What are your suggestions on a place in the southeast (I am in Alabama)for me to be able to take it to for fixing or do you have any other suggestions ?

I am sure others have had to deal with this and it is frustrating and almost makes me not want to have dual pane windows on a vehicle that goes up and down the road experiencing an 8.0 on the richter scale every time it is cranked up because more windows are likely soon to fog.

    You might find replacement is less expensive than repair.:)

    Had the windows on my 03 Adventurer done at Suncoast. Great place and great folks. Park in their campground, the take the windows out and cover the holes with cardboard (sometimes it rains there :-). They take apart your windows, clean them, then reseal them. If the glass is etched and uncleanable, they make new windows. Reinstall and all done.

    About what does the cost run to repair a foggy window? I know it will probably depend on the size of the window, but sort of an average cost. I have one small crank out window that started sweating on the inside and was quoted $600 by the RV factory to replace the window so I drilled a couple of very small holes in the seal between the plates and sprayed canned air (like used to clean computers) into one hole so it exited out the other hole which got the space cleared up but I know I need to get it fixed.
