Defective dual pane rv windows my rv window have broken seal and become clouded making for very poor visibility. I have a 2004 fleetwood, and I first noticed this in 2006. I read on the internet that other people were having this problem since the early 1990's. I called se-gi the window manufacture in norco ca and they said they would not help me and told me to call the rv manufacture, fleetwood in decatur, in and all they said they could do was sell me the windows. I don't think I should have to buy the windows since they were defective when they were first installed. I replaced the driver side window because an ohio police officer said it was a safety hazard. Now all of the windows are clouded I think this IS a safety problem that one or both of these companies should correct at their expense because there was nothing I could do to stop the windows from clouding. *Tr

This investigation was opened based on odi's receipt of a congressional letter on behalf of a constituent.the constituent reported incidents where the slide out room of his motor home would inadvertently move (extend) during highway use.odi was concerned that a fully extended slide out would degrade the vehicle's dynamic handling characteristics and/or possibly impact an object or another vehicle, resulting in a crash.odi contacted fleetwood and discovered that slide out rooms were installed in motor homes, travel trailers and folding trailers. As part of the investigation odi visited a rv show and the fleetwood paxinos plant to examine slide outs in various new make and model vehicles and gain an understanding of how the systems work.during the investigation odi learned that there are two methods used to extend slide out rooms.some manufacturers use hydraulic systems and others, such as fleetwood, use an electric motor.
