Is there a listing of the shops around the Country that will perform the de-fogging of your RV's windows that are fogged up?
I've used the shop in Searcy, Arkansas,that did satisfying and reliable work, but IMO they're on the steep side @ $250.00 per RV window!
Any others around Texas, the Deep South or Great Plains/Midwest to go to?
Thanks!

yes, there are. a google search for 'Fix RV Fogged Windows' should turn up several.
we had a bunch de-fogged at Suncoast Designers in Hudson, FL several years ago and can recommend them without reservation. two others that immediately come to mind are the RV Fog Doctor in Searcy, Arkansas and Dave Root RV Glass in Bend, OR.
good luck.

I had water in some of my double pane windows in the 5er we had. Local glass company that does car windows would not touch them. They said there was a 50% chance they would end up breaking the glass in opening them up to dry them out and that was special glass that cost a bunch.
It is a specialty job, not for the average auto glass places, and you can expect to pay for it.

Ever get to Quartzsite? During the rv show there are guys there that will do a window for 175. Had them do a window at the FMCA convention in Gillette this summer and they did an excellent job

The window in the entry door fogged with moisture inside. The manufacture wanted an arm and leg for the window plus the other arm for shipping. So we took a trip to Searcy, Arkansas and had The RV Fog Doctor repair it. Total cost was $200.00. We arrived on a Friday evening and they provided full hookups for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. By Sunday night there were four over motorhomes that came in for window repair. First thing Monday morning they took the window out and repaired it and had us on the road by 1:00 PM. They did an outstanding job and I highly recommend them.

Mine is in the shop right now getting replaced. I am tired of fighting the drivers side window so this time it is being replaced with laminated (windshield) glass. Hope I don't regret it but at least I won't have to ever worry about this window fogging up again.

Dave Root does a great job - and he will travel up and down the west coast, coming to you to do the work! We had several windows done by him a few years ago - he showed up at our storage yard in San Jose, Ca about 8:30 in the morning, and by 3:00 in the afternoon he was on his way, after taking care of 5 windows - if I recall he charged us somewhere around $250 or $300 per window.

I purchased my oun "supplies" to do my own windows but never got around to doing it "yet".
Too late this year! Should have done them while wintering in the SW.
Most jobs done by the inexpensive guys fog up after a couple years. Lets hear not only price but guarantee that goes along with each job.

a few years after we purchased a new MH in 2000 we had several windows fog up. we had them cleaned and polished by Suncoast Designers in Hudson, FL. we kept that coach for roughly 10 years after the work was completed with no recurrence of fogging in the repaired windows.

Looks like RK911 got ahold of a great installer.
The kit i purchased was from an outfit that sells just about everything related to windows. A large roll of 1/8 x 1/8 rubber spacer with decsicant impregnated.and a black silicone looking substance.
I will dig up the site i purchased the supply'sfrom and post further information.
