Anyone replaced fogged windows with laminated glass

[Nasdaqsam]

I changed all mine to laminate and love them. Great investment no down side to date.

The RV Geeks went to peninsula glass in Vancouver WA.
Just a few blocks from Roadmaster and an awning place.

One stop shopping.

We had 8 window units done tr RV glass solutions in Florida last January, it's great to be able to see out now,m do they sweat worse than double pane's , Yes , is the AC load more from them in hot sun , Yes , An expensive unexpected expense as I always thought I wanted double pane windows in an rv, now I would not as I have learned they all eventually fail.
Richard at RV glass solutions was great to work with, we now have one pane that has developed a crack on the inner pane up high where nothing could have hit it so I need to see how there warranty is, worst part is not being close to any of there business this year,may have to consider replacing myself if they will send me the glass.

I rebuilt my own driver's side front window, the fixed section next to the slider was the one that fogged the worst. The top section is also a bit foggy but I didn't really care about that one.

Once you have the glass out of the frame, you can separate them with a razor knife and then razor all the crap off the glass. Clean clean clean and clean some more!

The spacer is available on amazon, and mounts with the aluminum side OUT. It is self adhesive and has a dessicant built in. I sealed it in along the outside space with silicone, and left a small gap at the top of the glass.

With a welding bottle of 100% argon and the welding regulator and hoses, I pumped in argon to the space between the glass through the hole in the top - I used a straw to "reach in" to the glass so that the argon would "push" all the other air out. It is heavier than normal air. Once I was satisfied I had gotten enough air out, I sealed with a bit more silicone.

It's been perfect ever since, total cost was about $75.

I'm with you. Just did both front windows on my bounder, one each night after work about a month ago.

Ordered the 1/4 inch Super Spacer and sealant from CR Laurence, get some glass cleaner and get to work.

That's what they use at the factory, no argon, no vaccum and only difference is the hot applied sealant.

Hoping it lasts a long time. But if I have to do it again I will.

Again, mine was about 75 bucks in materials. And I have enough to do 2 more windows at least.

Hi Dgreen 1069; Had the 2 panes plus the slider, drivers side window replaced on my 01 Windsor in 2015 at RV Glass Solutions, I think their name has changed but not sure, at the Coburg Oregon site. Solid laminated glass, no more fogging. Cost in 2015, $550. Call them as they partner with other glass installers across the U.S. Very satisfied with their work. Friendly techs. that will not leave you hanging on what they intend to do for the fix. I would highly recommend them!
