Insulated/Thermopane Windows

Other than Lance, Northwood, and Outdoors, I am searching for mfgs. of small trailers (<25 ft) that offer insulated/thermopane windows as an option. I live in SE Texas and have found none on dealers' lots. I would like to compare other brands (that might be available closer to me) before traveling to see trailers by the first 3 listed. Appreciate your help. Thanks.

    This was the first name given to windows that have 2 pcs. of glass separated by an sealed air space. Now each window company has their own term for that. Insulated glass, is the more general term used now.
    Thermopane is a trademarked name, dual pane is the same thing. Look at 4 season trailers, what works in the cold will work in the Texas heat.

  • I believe Northwood uses Hehr "Thermal Pane" windows. I have them and have no complaints so far. Outdoors Manufacturing is a sister company so I would only guess they use the same brand? Hehr makes some windows they call Thermal Pane and some they call Double Pane. I know there is a difference. Regardless I like how quite ours are.

    Too bad Northwood doesn't have more dealers in Texas. We are in Illinois and we don't have dealer here either. We ended up ordering a travel trailer and driving to Oregon to pick it up in the same town as the factory to save a ton on freight charges. It paid for our vacation to the Oregon Coast. When or if we decide to get another trailer or 5th wheel we will most likely do the same again.

    Good luck with your search!
