| VISIBILITY | |||
| 10/20/2008 | |||
| 2007 fleetwood bounder class a motor home. dual pane windows. fogging windows, drivers side, passengers side, all windows on both sides subject to fogging problem. normal use, over time they gradually began to form the fog making it impossible to see thru especially when sun shines on it. it had started by 2008 and by 2009 drivers side window had no clear visibility . to correct the affected windows we took them to suncoast designers in fla. they removed, defogged, resealed and replaced the windows. less costly than replacing with same windows which could repeat the problem any time. | |||
