![]() One RV owner was reporting that he was paying $450 for the change but he did not say if that was his total cost or if that was the cost per window. If you have 5 windows that you want thermopane installed, then you are looking at paying $1250 to $3000 total extra. That three-letter word tells you how expensive even the cheaper models can run you. They can raise the cost of your RV by as little as $250 and as much as $600 PER window. While the single-pane windows may lose a lot of heat, so will your walls, ceiling, and even flooring. These vehicles are not given a lot of insulation as they are generally used in mild to hot temperatures and not cold ones. They are not designed to handle a lot of vibration so you may have some trouble with them as time goes by.Īlso, it may not be your RV windows that are the problem when it comes to heating. ![]() However, double pane glass or windows and RVs are not a match made in heaven. Sometimes they are filled with a gas to provide better insulation. These windows are constructed in such a way to make sure there are no air leaks that will ruin the protection they are supposed to provide. They work to keep outside air from reaching your inside air using an air pocket as a barrier. These construction methods help the windows last a long time. ![]() If you get the top quality thermopane windows you should receive the following construction benefits- “solid tempered glass, true double seals, anodized perforated aluminum spacers, and high-quality two-part absorption media”. Also, the dual panes do not sweat as much as the single pane windows do. Then on the reverse side, these windows may help keep the cool AC air inside when it is hot outside. There is no need to upgrade if you are not the type of person who loves to camp in the winter, etc. The regular RV windows will suffice if you are only a warm-weather RV person. Then some swear by these windows as it helps them preserve their propane supply and keep them nice and warm when the temperature levels outside dip to uncomfortable low levels. Some people do not like them as they are harder to take care of and more expensive. While glass is always energy inefficient, the air pocket in between the two panes of glass is supposed to provide that barrier you need to block out cold temperatures. If you do a lot of cold weather camping or go high in the mountains during the summer, they may come in handy as they are supposed to keep you warmer. These are windows that are designed to help your RV be more energy efficient.
