Are you an RV owner with foggy windows? We had that problem with our RV. It got so bad we couldn’t see the rearview mirrors. We share our 10 steps to RV Window Repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ever wonder why RV windows fog up and the glass pane becomes opaque instead of clear? If your RV has dual pane windows (also known as thermal or double pane), they are manufactured with special absorbent seals (also known as desiccant strips) between the panes to keep air out, prevent condensation, and absorb excess moisture.
Over time as the RV windows flex with temperature changes and travel, the seals around the glass can corrode and crack and the desiccant strips become oversaturated. This allows condensation in between the panes and causes the fogging effect you see in your RV windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a general rule, most RV windows can be repaired if you don\u2019t wait too long. If you don\u2019t fix the window quickly enough, the moisture begins to etch the glass. Once the window glass is etched, the glass needs to be replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dual paned windows (also known as thermal windows) are two panes of glass separated by a spacer. Look at the inside edge of your RV window. If you can see 2 pieces of glass, they are double-paned windows. The purpose of a double-paned window in an RV is to provide better insulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many RVs like ours have dual pane glass for better insulation. This works great until moisture gets in between the panes generally due to the seals around the windows deteriorating. The buildup of moisture between the glass panes causes the glass to become foggy and hard to see through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
