Two Jayhawks you are correct. I dislike the frameless windows because they open very little and we are wide open window campers when possible. They are attractive. We bought our 2015 DP new last May . In less than 4 months we had 5 of 9 of the dual pane frameless windows lose their seal. All were replaced under warranty. One of the replacements has failed and another has lost its seal. That is 7 out of 9 in 8 months. Is it because they are frameless ? Don't know, but my last DP which we had 11 years did not have a seal failure for the first 9 years.
We were going to order this MH so we could eliminate the dual pane windows but let the good deal we got dissuade us.

The frame less windows I've seen are a poor design, The outer pane seals up against the outside of the motor home, while the inner pane is attached to the mechanism that moves the windows in and out........so when you close them, the inner frame is essentially pulling against the outer window. Very poor. I have dual pane frame windows in my 04 Revolution. Dual panes are a waste, when they get foggy, I'll replace them with single panes that more and more companies are doing......the insulation factor is about the same, and no more foggy windows. Look at that BIG single pane window you have across the front (the windshield), you actually think you're gaining much by having dual windows. Besides, motor homes are not the best insulated homes anyway.
