I am looking for opinions on dual pane vs single pane windows in a 5th wheel. The sales person and sales manager both statred that there is very little difference in insulating qualities. I might thin...

have you even been near a single pane window in a house compared to dual pane? If so you know the salesman is blowing smoke. Yes, they are much better for reducing heat gain, reducing heat loss, and minimizing condensation.
Now the downside, unlike a sticks and bricks window that is in place and vibration free at a fixed altitude, a trailer window violates all of those. So the chance of one having a broken seal and issues is much higher.
My trailer has single pane windows. Installing the 3M heat shrink window material made a very very noticeable difference summer and winter, and really helped condensation. Once I saw that work, I went to tap plastic and had them cut plastic to fit each of the non opening window frames, screwed them to the inside of the trailer and it was well worth the cost and effort.
