Tango TT's - Any come with dual pane windows?

[BobsYourUncle]

I am trying to find out if any of the Tango TT's 2010 or older, came with dual pane windows.

Does anyone know anything about this? I have looked in various searches but come up with nothing.

After living 5 weeks in my TT in some seriously cold Alberta weather I am scouting out a winter friendly replacement. Looks like I will be heading back there for an undetermined amount of time and I'm going to work towards upgrading my rig again.

I made it ok with my Triple E Topaz, but it was a bit of a struggle in minus 32C temperatures.

I have been wanting a Tango 2007 to 2010 for a long time and may be able to pull it off by summer 2014.

But I need to find a way to see what the 2007 to 2010 models had for specs.

I'm hoping they had a models with heated underbelly and tanks too.


Anyone know where to get this kind of information?

As an aside the Arctic Fox R insulation values (a well insulated trailer and fifth wheel) are R7 in the walls and R 18 in the roof. R values are a number but I am not sure they tell the entire story.


You might look into a good clean 329 model as it has a large (for a TT) bathroom, two slides, a separate kids/den room and a huge living room. And, it weighs 10,000 gross. That is my favorite model, it is 34 feet long, or about 3-4 feet longer than what I have. After about 30 feet a couple more feet does not make much if any difference in towing. The front nose cap is great.

Good luck in whatever you decide to do. I have a 2009 brochure so if you need some info on a model pre the new owners and if it is in the brochure I can relay that info to you. PCW also made a few models of fifth wheels, also nice units.

A little late in replying....

Thanks for the offer of relaying the info in the 2009 brochure. I was just poking around looking for info and I actually found a PDF version of the 2009 brochure! That is what reminded me I never replied to your post.

So I printed off the brochure, in color, yeah I used up a bunch of color ink but I don't care! :B 20 pages of it.

I am going to be very actively looking for one this year and I think by summer I should be able to see my way to upgrading to the Tango I have been wanting for a long time now!

Thanks so much for you help. I appreciate that.

I was in BC's Okanogan Valley 2 1/2 years ago for a friends mothers 80th birthday.
I stayed at a CG in Oliver BC. Late that evening after I got there and set up, a guy came in dragging about a 29 foot Tango TT.

I instantly fell in love with it and began doing research on Tango TT's. I helped guide him into his spot in the dark and he was gracious enough to give me a tour of his rig. I was so impressed with everything about this unit.

Love at first sight is all I can say. Not sure why I picked on that one when there are so many wonderful rigs out there but that is the one I fell in love with and to this day, remains the one I want.

Bob,

I went into some paperwork I have with my '09 Tango and apparently one option was thermal pane safety glass flush mount windows. No mention of dual pane windows. Supposedly it has R 11 values on the roof and floor. Tanks are heated with enclosed underbelly.

Thank you, I appreciate your input.

Since Pacific Coachworks was sold and they changed so many things, there is no longer access to info on the pre 2011 units.

Looks like your unit is very close to what I am looking for!

I believe though, that the thermal pane windows referred to are the same as dual pane or double glazed. Same thing, different terminology to say it.

I have not see this place but I did do some research on another manufacturer.
The windows were prohibitively expensive.

Interesting that the link you provided is in Summerland BC. I used to live a few miles south of there in Penticton until I moved to the coast.

Thanks for the link.

I think all the models had heated underbelly tanks. Mine does. As far as the double pane windows, I am not sure. I don't recall them being an option and I bought mine new. Maybe somebody can retrofit windows. Other than that the Tango's are a very good product especially for the money.


You might also look at the Arctic Fox products as they are four season units, whatever that really means.
