They are fine for a summer use trailer. Not for a 4 season.
The dual pane in the frameless is not a very good dual pane - basically they are two thin sheets of glass bonded together - so very little thermal benefit.
The framed type of dual pane generally have a thicker glass and there is a gap between the panes giving you good thermal performance.
The frameless also have rubber seals that the glass is pressed against. Not as tight a seal as you get in the framed type. So long term, the framed will probably suffer from fewer leaks.
