You can Google "R factors" of construction materials and see exactly specific ratings. The cheapest supplier of glass windows is what most mfgs use. Too have the best rated windows one needs to have dual pane with Low e and Argon gas sealed between the panes. Until we as buyers force the RV Mpg's to use quality windows this problem persists. We have several fogged windows. Several places will repair for average price of 3 or 4 hundred bucks per window. You can replace the glass yourself for a lot less money.

X2. Changed changed two my leaking fogged windows to single laminated glass... no problems with mine. Also, no noise....wonder if all the dual pane window owners have a noise problem with their front windshield...don't believe they make dual pane windshields.

Thank you, my sentiments as well. Folks actually buy into the idea that its just something we have to do to own these things. If the industry can't make a therm-pane window that wouldn't fog, offer thick single pane window as delete option. Give us a choice. May surprise everyone how many buyers would chose same.
