DUAL PANE WINDOW SEALS RUPTURE AND DUAL PANE WINDOWS BECOME FOGGY AND STAINED MAKING VISIBILTY TERRIBLE AND UNSAFE. ESPECIALLY CAN'T SEE YOUR MIRRORS. ACCORDING TO FORUMS IT APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG FLEETWOOD PRODUCTS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FLEETWOOD EXPEDITION. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS RETAINED MOISTURE AND CAUSED A GLARE DUE TO THE SUNLIGHT.

ALL SE-GI MADE WINDOWS FOGGING UP MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS; VERY HARD TO SEE.
WHILE DRIVING MY FLEETWOOD MOTORHOME, I NOTICED AN ELECTRICAL ODOR. I LOOKED TOWARD THE BACK OF THE COACH AND THE REAR BEDROOM WAS FULL OF SMOKE. WHEN I FINALLY GOT THE COACH TO A SERVICE CENTER, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM HAD A HOLE IN IT NEAR THE ENGINE. THE COACH ONLY HAD 32000 MILES. THE HEAT FROM THE ENGINE THROUGH THE EXHAUST HEATED THE ELECTRICAL CONTROL BOX THAT IS IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE ENGINE, THE COATING ON THE WIRING MELTED AND THAT RESULTED IN AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. I FEEL THAT THERE IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW THAT COULD RESULT IN BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. *TR
OUR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW IS SO FOGGED THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR US TO DRIVE IT .OTHERS HAVE THE FOG AS WELL, I AM JUST DISGUSTED WITH THE FACT IT IS NOW SO DANGEROUS. I UNDERSTAND FROM OTHER WEBSITES THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE WINDOWS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WITH THE PRICE OF THESE RV'S HOW FLEETWOOD WOULD CONTINUE TO USE SUCH DEFECTIVE WINDOWS AND ACTUALLY THINK THE PUBLIC WILL RETURN TO PURCHASE ANOTHER FLEETWOOD PRODUCT. *TR
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT IN ONE PLACE THAT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY LIGHT JUST THE CARS PASSING I HAD TO STOP BECAUSE THE ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE WAS ON.
