Hello,
thinking of buying a 31Ft c class with single glazing, does it make much difference if it is dual glazed?
apart from some condensation.
we intend to use the rv all year round.

dual pain windows make a hell of a difference to single pain more so in the winter, if you can find a motorhome with dual pane it will be a lot better. been fulltimming 7 years and been in a few motorhomes that have single and you can feel the difference.
you will needs a dehumidifier with single pane.

The dual glazed windows also cut down an awful lot of outside noise. A real boon if you are trying to get some shuteye in a noisy area.

We have also found that there is very little condensation on the interior windows, except when cooking, even in the coldest weather.

Huge difference. All our windows are dual pane, except at the very front, where the original darkened ones had to be replaced - otherwise couldn't see mirrors at night. The single pane ones (also the door window and the windscreen) run with condensation and are a single PAIN. wouldn't have an RV without dual pane in UK. Can be fitted later, but expensive and quite a big job.

Hi just thought id throw this in for good measure!!

Have a look at Canadian built RVs I haven't seen too many of them but all the ones i have seen have double glazing as standard i think as they have very cold winters.

My RV gets a bit of condensation in the winter especially when cooking but we have a small 12 volt dehumidier which seems to work quite well and is very quiet.

Good luck

We have had two RVs, one with and one without double glazing. The difference is unbelievable. We would never have one without it.
