A number of the guys with toy haulers had these upgraded windows before the TC manufacturers started using them. The ones that boon dock have reported the most damage. I found no failures in conventional or TH RV's that stayed in paved parks or resorts, so it was initially interesting why some toy haulers were seeing chipped or shattered windows that were identically branded and the construction/mounting didn't differ that much. The consensus is that rocks get kicked up by the tow vehicle or RV tires and catch the edge of the glass.
Perhaps it may be more of a moot point on a TC since the windows sit higher and farther away from the tires, but I prefer to not test this hypothesis.
I have also avoided acrylic windows due to scratches. All of us try to avoid having limbs or branches scrape along side our TC when pulling into heavily wooded camp sites or parallel parking on a tree-lined residential street, but it does happen...
