We got our current rig in March of 2016. In the SECOND HOUR of the FIRST trip, a truck going the other way threw up a rock and we drove into it, cracking the windshield from top to bottom..

We put up with the cracked windshield for TWO FREAKING years and and had it replaced just a month ago in March, 2018. $100 by the way.

As we were leaving an RV park yesterday morning, a truck passing us threw a rock and put a palm-sized star in our NEW, month old, windshield.

It is DEAD CENTER S to S, T to B, in the new glass and has since spread ALL the way from TOP to BOTTOM!!!

Grrrrrr.......

Tim ... kindof count yourself lucky that it wasn't your overcab bunk forward facing window (if you have one) that got hit by a rock!

We had that happen once around 3,000 miles from home from a rock flying off an approaching truck's tire on a gravel road. That window is not safety glass - only tempered glass. Hence our cabover window shattered in a thousand little pieces that fell down all over us and the cab area. We had it replaced ASAP and they sealed it poorly, so of course we had to drive though rain storms to get back home in CA and of course it leaked rain water. It took a couple more attempts when back home to get it replaced leak-free.

What a nightmare with that cabover window breakage. We just recently finally got the cabover window plastic coated so as to maybe either keep it protected from flying rocks ... or at least maybe keep the glass pieces held together by the plastic so that they don't fall all over everything.
