| The driver side windows on my alfa motor home have fogged up and are difficult to see through especially the one which i look through to see my drivers mirror. there was no incident involving this but my coach is only two years old and the company si-gi tells me they do not consider this a manufacturing defect. i do not understand how it could not be a manufacturing defect. *tr | |||

| Driver window has leaks between panes of glass that causes fogging and the driver side mirror is not visible through the window. i have replaced the window to be able to drive the rv although the vehicle is only 3 years old. even though that i can only report this motorhome, i know of several others that have the same problem. *tr | |||
