Windows are fogged up between the 2 pieces of glass. Drivers side is so bad you can not see the mirror outside. This is very dangerous and could cause death.

There was no incident. My hope is to report this before there is. My motorhome has windows which are fogging up very badly. The drivers side and passengers side windows get so foggy that it may be considered dangerous. I have talked with other motorhome owners who are facing the same issue. Please advise.

Double pane windows are fogging up resulting in lack of visibility through the drivers side window. Difficult to see the rearview mirror and objects on the left side when turning. Fleetwood claims not covered by warranty even though numerous discovery owners have had the same complaints.

Side windows are fogging up and cannot be cleaned. The worst is the drivers side windows and it is very difficult to see the mirrors which of course becomes very dangerous. Both the manufacturer and original suppliers (from reports by others) state this is past the warranty period. This is without a doubt a safety issue as the drivers sight is restricted.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 fleetwood discovery. While the vehicle was parked the contact noticed the front driver and passenger side windows were fogged making it impossible for him to see through the windows. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technicians contacted the manufacturer and they replaced the driver and passenger side windows. The failure occurred a second time approximately one year after the windows were replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 5,000.

Double pane windows fogging from between the panes.

Filed Jul 1, 2010 · Visibility · 15,250 miles · WA

Driver's side window at driver's station fogged and hard to see through. This is window that driver looks through to see the rear view mirror. At twilight it is particularly bad with reflection of the interior showing in the window obscuring the visibility to the rear view mirror. This is a "double pane" window and I believe the "seal" has been ruptured. This situation almost caused an accident as driver was unable to see a following car that had started to pass as driver moved motor home to the left.

I have a 2005 discovery motorhome manufactured by fleetwood. The dual paned drivers side window which was manufactured by se gi has failed and is "fogging up" which is impacting visibility to the side view mirror. I am also stating to see similar failures on several of the stationary windows in the back of the motorhome. In my opinion these failures are premature.
