While the dual windows can be a real pain, we wouldn't be without them. They not only provide much more thermal insulation against heat or cold, they also provide a lot of sound insulation. We immediately noticed a vast difference between our prior coach with single panes and our current dual paned one. We are not bothered by nearby trains or campers near as much with our current coach.
We did have three of our windows repaired by Suncoast Designs last week. While expensive, they were less expensive than new windows and have a much better warranty. Suncoast is very professional and do a great job. They also count both sliding windows as one window when pricing. In other words, everything inside the frame is counted as one window. They charged us 250 per window (removal, repair, install and leak check) and we had one window where the glass had become etched and required replacement at 25 per pane. They have free water and 50 amp electric sites for you to stay in while they do the job which takes about two days. There were 21 coaches there during our stay, so they are very busy this time of year.
21 coaches there during your two day stay, that tells me some window companys have created a never ending way to make money.
When the side windows fog the view of the rear view mirrors or the view beside your coach, that is when it becomes a safety hazard & should never be something the RV owner has to deal with, but yet everybody just goes to get them fixed on their own dime.
Am I missing something here, this is a safety hazard folks & your just passing it by like its nothing.
There should be a recall industry wide.
