Re: Creepy windows

So, I may consider myself lucky, to NOT have the Dual Pane, seeing what they cost in Repairs? My '95, was the Last Single Pane Installs made by FT, of course! I am Considering buying the thickest Smoked Plastic Sheets (4' X 8') and the Hardware, for a Durable Install, with a Proper Latch at the bottom! My Coach came with Window Awning Delete Option, from the Factory, and Although it might make it cooler in the Summer's Heat, the Smoked Plastic, will do the very same thing, as well? I was thinking of a rubber gasket, attached to the new Tilt Window, which would allow more Insulation, (Sorely Needed) and a replaceable Foam type, mounted on the Inner side, to make it seal better! The Rubber one would be for keeping debris from getting in between the windows, while going down the road, and keep them from getting ripped off, from wind! I honestly never get much rain, by not having awnings, as I just close the windows, if needed, no biggie there, but having the Smoked Tilt Windows would allow that, as well! The past 9 Months of many RV Parks, and seeing the various ways the type I am talking about, intrigued me a lot! It sort of "Modernizes" the Look, too!
Anyway, it's a "Round Tuit" item on my list of many other issues, but may receive a higher priority, later this year, and I'll go for it! I will do a write up, with pics, and sources I find for this project, to hopefully have others consider this Mod? The Insulation Factor Alone, makes it a "Must Do" issue, as even sourcing and install costs, for New Manufactured Dual Pane's, that I have been quoted, are clearly not worth the effort, one bit! I'd never get "Pay Back" in energy cost savings, in my lifetime, by doing that!
Wish me luck, though, as I am doing it...or would like to ASAP, anyway? So far, from what I have sourced, I can do the whole Coach, for less than one Coach Buck? I'll keep ya posted though, as I ONLY want Stainless, or Aluminum Hardware, of course!
