    I have heard that if you hold a lighter or match, candle up to the window you will see 2 reflections if you have dual panes. Also if you just look at the glass from an angle you should be able to see as well.

    Sending you vin # to GD or calling in with your vin # , they will tell you how the RV is equipped.

      Is the double pane window option not listed on the bill of sale ?
      My Reflection 5th wheel has the "arctic" package but only single pane windows , anybody that lives in snow country knows the benefit of double pane windows . Why have better insulation and cheap windows .....

        I agree with your comment. It also makes me curious why , all manufactures , advertise some kind of "Arctic" package when in fact it is hard to heat these things when the temps are barely at the freezing point. All RV's have thin walls, multiple slides and large windows all of which do not provide an easy or comfortable heating environment. Having seen quite a few RV's that advertise these "packages" I have not seen one that I would take to the Arctic.

          As I've posted before,,,when I spoke with my factory rep he told me that dual pane windows only increase R-value by 1/10 of 1%,,,is the juice worth the squeeze. Many campers want that window format for noise reduction and condensation. Personally, I wouldn't spend the $$$ for increased R-value.

            Arctic Package is "marketing speak" by all RV manufacturers. Walls less than 1 1/2" thick with 1/8" exterior and interior paneling attached to the same aluminum studs. Whether you choose single pane or double pane glass, the aluminum window frames do not have a thermal break as is common in residential construction. Air leaks around moving slides is bound to happen. A few inches of insulation in the roof (compared to 16" or more in residential construction) The furnace in our 2300 sq ft sticks-and-bricks has only a slightly higher BTU rating than the furnace in our 300 sq ft 5th wheel. If "arctic weather" means near freezing in your travels . . . you can keep the trailer comfortable (with a lot of propane). If "arctic weather" means the -40 range, a trailer is not the place to be.

                  You must look very very closely at the lower left (from inside) for the glass tag. You should barely see two glass tags. The amount of space between the glass is very minimal.
