Replacement windows
Hi all,
Does anyone know where I can buy new windows for my 2004 34’?
Front drivers side. Entrance door and the one next to the door.
There pretty foggy and rather than try to disassemble and clean, I would rather replace them.
I had a glass guy at our house look at these and he said that since they have been like this for many years they probably won’t clean up like new.

Several places around the country that specialize in repairing them. Far less $$ than new ones.

RV Glass solutions
had the driver side [three] window replaced and the pilot[ fixed window next to the door] replaced, at RV Glass Solutions in Coburg Oregon, they use the two pane glass bonded together so there isn't a air gap.. cost for both windows was $950.00 no tax. very happy with the outcome.. good luck

I have the same problem and I have researched the issue. My thought is Togo back with safety glass instead of dual pane glass. The easiest way to do this seems to be to order from a company that custom makes RV windows. When I last looked, the cost was 1-200 dollars more expensive than having the existing window repaired. Added to that is that you do the window removal, measuring, and replacement youself. I haven’t been able to convince myself to write a check.

We have an appointment to have all of our windows (except the bathroom) replaced in late June at RV Glas Solutions in Coburg Oregon. The cost to replace with 1/2" safety glass is about double the cost of having the old windows repaired.
Many of our windows were previously repaired/resealed and are now getting slightly foggy again. many of our windows look like they are always a little dirty and we can't do anything about it. None of ours have completely failed........YET!!
in speaking with other Alpiners who have replaced their windows with RVGS' safety glass all claim a much quieter environment while driving and combined with a lifetime solution is what helped us make our decision

RVGS in Coburg did most of ours in double pane a couple years ago, no regrets. (they also replaced both windshields after the hwy 101 gravel truck/tailgate failure incident) One side note, they can not match the original bronze tint the side windows used. We went with the dark grey tint at their recommendation. They look and function perfect. I can't say enough good about RVGS in Coburg. First class operation.

The 1/2 inch is so it will fit in the frame?

Are there any tradeoffs in choosing safety glass over the dual pane? Does the safety glass sweat in cold weather? I notice that my windshield gets sweat or beads of water condensing on the inside in cold weather, but the rest of the windows which are dual pane with the air gap don't.
