Thermopane Windows in Trailer
Looking at new Rockwood 2906WS ultra lite trailer. Ordering most options. Have never had thermopane Windows which I am told are just two layers of glass. Can anyone comment on the importance. Thank...

If you full time or camp regularly in the cold they maybe worthwhile.
However there is typically not an energy rebate/savings like in a home because the RV has no utility bill. Utilities are generally included so there is no actual savings benefit.
Furthermore RV's are typically in moderate weather and not in extreme cold.
Most that have dual panes state they reduce noise, however is noise in a RV park really a problem? Not for me!
After giving it thought I passed for better or worse. I decided the additional cost $1,500.00 was not worth the benefit. I did not see the windows paying for themselves. I needed more of a return than just noise reduction.
Keep in mind I am just a very active weekend warrior. If I camped 1/2, 3/4 or full time I may have seen more value in having dual panes
