What year, make and model Motorhome do you have?

I've been on three RV forums 15 years and never heard of anybody not being able to source a windshield.

Perhaps this is a first?

Wait What? If I had a functional MH that I had cared for, but could not replace the glass I would think I had to.
Of course I have put enough miles on more than a few vehicles to understand that windshields wear out.

You missed the point - thankfully we can still get glass for most vehicles still on the road.

Yep, we had the driver's side (National SeaBreezeLX) replaced early last year and it cost us nothing.

Thank God we bought a quality motor home that is still supported after 22 years.. NEWMAR.

we replaced the windshields 3 years ago, there is a number in of the glass that will tell you which glass to order.. Your Glass dealer will know where to get the glass.

Some manufacturers used commonly available parts including windshields. They just may not want to tell you that. Check for a forum for that model and you might find it uses a GM or other windshield.

Ultimately, yes, they might total the rig over a windshield.

If you have a 40yr old rig, this is actually pretty likely. Market value of the rig might only be $5k and not many kicking around, so if a custom windshield would run $10k, odds are they cut you a check for $5k and call it good.

If you have a 2yr old $500k rig, even if it's going to be $20k to get a custom windshield produced, it makes financial sense...of course, they might drop you shortly after.

People in Cuba have not been able to buy parts for cars. I have heard some of them modify the car to fit windshield they have.
To bad nobody in this country could do that

If you look through either the FMCA magazine or Motorhome magazine you will find a company that will bend glass for just about anything.
I may not be cheap.

Hush! Don't put the mouth on it! I don't want to think about that.
