Passenger side window failed ao i had difficulty seeing the mirror and traffic. Took it in to ABC Bus, they got the number off the glass and ordered it. Took about 3 weeks due to the first two coming in damaged. They submitted to insurance which covered it all due to the safety issue...same as a damaged windshield here in MN

I have heard of different types of fixes:

1.) Fix the double pane window
2.) Replace the window with regular glass
3.) Replace the window with extra thick glass.

Any thoughts?

I had the same issue in our old Sunova, both the drivers and passenger windows would fog, completely blocking the mirrors. I purchased the glass from here https://www.rvglass.com/ and replaced myself. It’s not too hard, although having a 2nd person to help hold things is really helpful. I think I did both sides for about $300, was still holding up great when I sold it last year.

We did the same thing on our 2001 Adventurer. If you decide to go this route make sure you do it on a warm (70*+) day. We did ours on a 50* day and it took more time to remove the old sealant that it did to remove and install the new window.

Personally I would go with repair or direct replacement of the same type window if you intend to use the coach in cold or hot weather. Single pane windows will have a similar problem with condensate, and the interior will be cooler in cold climates and hotter in warm climates.

We now have a 2013 Adventurer. The front side windows are no longer dual pane. There's a noticeable difference in temperature when in cold or extremely warm climates. There's also a problem with condensation when camping on cold areas.
