I've had two campers with dual pane windows and none failed.
Dual panes reduce condensation, reduce outside noise and provide greater temperature comfort.
BUT, dual panes add additional weight to the camper.
My Dometic windows are plastic. I suspect they actually weigh less than a single pane glass window.
They do weigh less. And the Dometic/Seitz dual pane windows help a lot with heat loss. Plus, they have built-in screens/shades and an opening system that is far better than other RV windows I'm aware of.
Yes, I own a pop-up with insulated fabric. Yes, there's heat loss. And yes, every little bit of insulation, including dual-pane windows helps keep that heat loss down.
Mine have never leaked in 15 years.
My 2 cents.
