Question Door window replacement

[lostinfla]

Our door window just showed signs of condensation in between the inner and outer glass. Looking for replacement options other than Newmar. ($$$) I've been to Suncoast Designers in Hudson Fl several times previous with not so good results and other issues so I won't ever go back there. Anyone have an outlet for glass? Thinking of going with single pane instead of dual for cost and avoid future condensation problems.

Though double pane has its problems, single pane also has condensation problems. But single pane can produce condensation that runs down the inside wall! Just saying.

So as the saying goes. Insanity is . . . In this case I think the key word is "expecting". It would seem that rebuilt or factory windows have the problem, so either the design needs a change, or the process needs modified. Status quo is not working.

I have an idea but our worlds don't meet! If someone is going to deal with this problem, by replacing the window, And will be going through Quartzsite this winter, and would like to donate a window for me to experiment on. Maybe I can come up with an answer!

@lostinflorida Either of these companies should be able to help. Both use laminated glass.

Wouldn’t hurt to email Newmar parts for a quote as a reference point. I wonder if PTL does the window for the door though and maybe worth reaching out to them. They don’t suffer Newmar price’itis.

I had my door window, driver's side front and header windows replaced as well as the passenger side window at Darren Thomas Glass in Sebring, Florida. Arrived on Easter for a Monday appointment. Plenty of space to hook up to power. You will need a gate code to access power which is provided in advance of arrival.
All windows replaced with single pane glass. No issues! Would recommend them.
As a side perk T-Mobile MiFi card worked exceptionally well downstream was at or above 500 mbps.

I thought they didn't do frameless windows.

@lostinfla all windows were framed. Sorry if I mislead you.

I would contact PTL Engineering regarding window replacement instead of Newmar as they provided the door which likely included the window.

PTL doesn't supply the window, just the door to Newmar. Checking with Lippert now for a price. Newmar wants 793.79 for the window.

Found the replacement window from Duncan for a lot less than Newmar's price. The window itself is 303.00 from Duncan, plus shipping of 150 for crating and ship costs. Newmar wants 793.79 shipped. If I can work a side trip while near Indiana this year, I can save the shipping.

Check the glass itself for who manufactured the glass. It is typically etched in the glass or a label is in place. I replaced 2 of my side windows with exact replacements. The manufacturer was Hehr. My coach is not a Newmar however.

I seem to remember that Coach Glass has a location in Florida...you might look 'em up (Heck, I guess I could do that as well...here's what I found)

So here's their number...

Call us today: (800) 714-7171

IMHO, anything RV Glass is you MUST give Coach Glass a call...

The window was manufactured by Hehr which was taken over by Lippert who's window division is Duncan. By giving them the original label from the inside trim ring, they can remake the exact window so I didn't have to worry about fitment
