Camper Door Windows dual pane???

AnEV942...to solve the issue of massive H2O on front cab over window, I made an insulated flexible planel that worked well for many years. this is modified from my original install. Use 1/2" bed roll foam from a sports store covered with bubble foil both sides (get at HD), covered again with heavy color coordinated cloth (sort of like thin blanket material) and padded with that white fluffy stuff used in furniture cushions available at the fabric store...used industrial spray on contact cement to assemble it all. It was of such a size and stiff/flexibe, use snaps or velcro to hold in place. It never got really wet, never mildewed, stopped alot of heat (sun bake black glass) and cold down my neck was gone too. Good weekend project after you collect all the materials. Fabric didn't come wide enuf to do it economically so I used contrasting color ultrasuade on ends for about 12"... gave it depth and looked like it belonged, since I had covered the new dense foam dinette seat cushions in the same fabric...tied it all together...I'll try to find some pics.

There are many companies that make RV/marine windows, single/dual pane, fixed/slider in about any configuration you need. ie, dont know anything about them but just one,http://www.rvwindows.com/products/rv-elite-dual-pane-windows-series-1800/.

Likly also be ordered thru most RV mfgs, in PJs case as rebuilding camper, replacement shoudnt be hard to find-they are not cheap.

Which some have retro'd their own quasi dual pane rear door window.
KKELLER14K for one, its in the TCU thread/exterior section. If I had a problem with our door windows I'd try that, but we dont. I assume the simple door seal/door construction leaks enough air or cold enough to keep fairly dry as its the window that has least condensation.

On the round to it is our cabover window, its the worst 'water generator'. There is a flat flange that I will seal a piece of plexi to, think it'd help. I had the opportunity couple of winters ago, because there is an actual secondary flange that would accept a second window, I always thought if/when removed id make semi dual. However it was when we used to get rain so I didnt spend the time needed. Ive not seen any long term results if these attempts help.

If though I was to spend couple of hundred (not) Id opt for the Edwin opening window, velcro some foil bubble ins. for winter use.

I ordered storm windows for my Wolf Creek (which I pick up Saturday). And I think I understand they do not come for the back door.

but what about that stuff you put on home windows that is clear, it applies with double sided tape and you shrink it with a hair dryer? that would work on a pickup camper as well.

I have not seen dual pane wondows in TC's...would you take some pics on how it works, PLS!! Close up of how installed and what is covered, if you can.
Can you open your windows, slide or cranck out? Maybe someone has a site that shows how all this works.

I was thiking of the plexi and silicon method (mention here)to cover the stationary parts...it would help some...In my rebuild I have eliminated the cab pass thru and aft window, so that will help plus the galley window is being downsized, actually using the pass thru in place of galley, and the forward cab over window is gone...so this will help with the temp. I am replacing the aft and pass thru with marine style fixed round ports, just for security purpose and they will be double pane as I am installing a pair back to back, inside and outside. But the big window in the slide has loads of glass. I will be interested in the comments and ideas. THX.

Dual pane is pretty common in the windows but for some reason not the back door window. I have them in my camper (except back door).

I wonder if some plexiglass and velcro cut to fit would work? be less cost.

There are two panes of glass in the EDWIN replacement window to allow the the window to be opened. It is not a dual pane insulated window.

Good deal,let us know how it turns out.
