Be aware there is a difference between Dual Pane (Storm Windows) and Thermal Pane windows. Some manufacturers, Arctic Fox for one, offer both kinds as options. I would always go with Thermal Pane windows.matt_r wrote:I found that very odd too.

I use my trailer to camp all year, plus hunting season. Which means it gets used in sub 20s weather. I've never winterized it because it gets used so much.
1987 trailer, single pane windows. Never once thought it was too cold. Never had sweat on the windows. You gotta leave the roof vents open. Don't strive for 85 degrees inside, when it's 17 outside. I get it to about 68, vents open, no issues.
Yes, it goes through propane. But I've done the trials both ways. It's really not that much. Using it that way, and cooking and fridge too, I've never used up a whole 30lb tank in 7 days. Close, but not quite.

Interesting---we bought an Outdoors RV / Timer Ridge last year with the 4 season arctic package---no double pain windows.
We are looking at a Grand Design / Reflection TT with Arctic / Four Season package and none that are for sale now on the West Coast have the thermal windows.
If you look at Grand Design, the Arctic package does not come with thermal windows standard.
Its odd, I would have expected thermal windows to be part of any four season package--but with skinny margins and price pressure, you need to keep cost low everywhere you can.

Unless you bought a four season model I doubt you would see dual pain windows. I have never seen them on any standard models at the RV shows.
Most folks do not camp in the winter and the daily campground electric hook up cost the same no matter how much AC you use; so the dealers have no incentive to order them.
However, for those who do camp in the cold or have long term leases with separate electrical billing, dual pane windows might be worth the extra cost.
