Anyone know what brands offer dual pane windows as an option? I assume Arctic Fox and the highe end brands but have only found a small number of manufacturers. Thanks.Gman

We were able to special order them on our '13 Forest River Palomino Sabre 5er. Some brochures/websites don't list them as an option, sometimes you have to ask the dealer. I know Jayco offers them as an option too on some lines.

Almost every RV has the option to add insulated windows...but to keep the cost down, many do not make them with it....usually you have to order the unit you want with insulated windows, extra insulation in the walls, ceiling and floor, 2nd air conditioner, larger water heater, larger refridge, and the list goes on...If you know what you want and are willing to wait, order it the way you want it.

I know keystone brands do, might cost as much as $1000 for the upgrade

Excel has them but they come with a price.....Only folks that do a lot of cold weather camping or full timers seem to buy them. I understand they make things quieter inside the coach, so that is a plus in some campgrounds. That said I will get them when I buy my next one.

Talk with the manufacturer's sales rep for the brand you are interested in, he can tell you actual option codes (but can't give you prices). Get the pricing from your dealer and he should have you initial the build order with all the option codes you want. That way you get exactly what you want.

Not always available online. So a perfectly valid question.

It's *your* homework assignment..:S

Look at the *options* list for whatever brand/s you're interested in.

Wonder what causes this. Mine are on an 06 Holiday Rambler Presidential Suite. 5er will be 8 yrs old early spring and I've had zero issues with any of mine. Again, they are heavily tinted, (it's the way they came), but I've looked at that side to side and tried to see if any issues, and to date, I've had none.

Not sure for poster but remember NOT to use thermal backing on dual pane windows. The seals cannot handle the heat and will leak.

I already knew not to use any thermal backing on the windows...I either have drapes or the day/night shades..I was wondering more about a 5er that is 2 yrs newer than mine and has had quite a few windows develop fogging between the panes.....That's really what I was wondering about...Maybe THEY used some sort of backing on their windows??

Have them on my prime time crusader. Would not have another rig without them. Quiet warm/cool just great.

They are an option on Raptors and Fuzions. My Fuzion doesn't have them though.
