Dual Pain Windows
How important are these? We bought a 2014 Outdoors RV / Timber Ridge that does not have them. We like to snow camp and noticed that the windows sweat a lot. I also get that single = less insul...

Unless you bought a four season model I doubt you would see dual pain windows. I have never seen them on any standard models at the RV shows.
Most folks do not camp in the winter and the daily campground electric hook up cost the same no matter how much AC you use; so the dealers have no incentive to order them.
However, for those who do camp in the cold or have long term leases with separate electrical billing, dual pane windows might be worth the extra cost.
Interesting---we bought an Outdoors RV / Timer Ridge last year with the 4 season arctic package---no double pain windows.
We are looking at a Grand Design / Reflection TT with Arctic / Four Season package and none that are for sale now on the West Coast have the thermal windows.
If you look at Grand Design, the Arctic package does not come with thermal windows standard.
Its odd, I would have expected thermal windows to be part of any four season package--but with skinny margins and price pressure, you need to keep cost low everywhere you can.
