Given the relative lack of difference in R values between single pane and dual pane windows I believe there is an excessive amount of "old wives tale" hype involved. If one does their research they will find single pane has an R value of approximately .8 depending on thickness while dual pane windows are around 2, some a little higher and some lower, also dependent on thickness. Dual pane windows in one's RV are not the same as insulated windows in one's S & B home. Are dual pane windows better for temperature control? Marginally. Are they better for noise abatement? Marginally. If you feel they are worth the cost go for it. But they are not the cat's meow as so many claim.
