| I own a 2006 fleetwood providence motor home with a serious safety issue. the dual pane windows are obstructed by a gaseous fog due to the failure of the seal between the glass. i would accept that one, possibly two dual pane windows may lose their seal and fog over time but every window on this vehicle is fogged to the point of making it unsafe to drive. i have difficulty seeing traffic through the side view mirrors. my vehicle is out of warranty but at 5 years and 19,000 miles but there is nothing an owner can reasonably do to maintain the windows to keep this from happening. based on limited research of owner sites and industry publications, this problem is not limited to fleetwood alone. it's a common issue among all class a motorhome owners of all makes. the motorhome manufacturer or the window manufacturer should have some responsibility for the safety of the motoring public. i send this to you as you may be aware of actions taken by the industry or you can possibly help with a resolution | |||

| I have a 2006 fleetwood providence rv. all of my stationary windows are fogging up which is a nuisance in itself. however, my biggest concern is the driver's side window. it is so foggy i'm unable to clearly see my side rearview mirror. both times i've contacted fleetwood regarding this issue i was told there's nothing they can do about it. it is definitely a safety issue that all of my fleetwood friends are concerned about. *tr | |||
