Does anyone have experience with dual pane windows on an RV? Yes we have dual pane on our 2002 Phaeton
Are they effective to insulate against hot/cold external temperatures?
We think they help, especially because they have the dark tint.
Are they worth the extra money, when factory fitted? We think so.
Is it possible to retro-fit a vehicle with dual pane? I would think custom windows could be put in. The frame is similar but if your sizes are not standard a custom shop may need to make them.
I doubt you'll see any monetary gain from going to dual pane but your comfort level may be improved over single pane. It may make the resale better when that day comes because many folks have and love dual pane.
Yes, you will find conversations on here about dual panes that have a broken seal and become foggy. I think it all depends on what brand of window you buy and their warranty. Our Heir windows/what Tiffin puts in have never gotten foggy in 12 years.
