Greetings Everyone,

Webought a slightly used 2007 CF32BL last year so we had no choice on options. We do love our first Fifth wheel though. We had only had TT prior to this. A great improvement. Now my question. We only have the standard windows any way to improve to insulating factor? Thanks for on the help in advance.

are you looking to keep the cool in or the cool out. Or both depending on season? Edited by: salda01

A quick and easy method is get bubble wrap put some water on the windows and apply the wrap. It works well when you want to take it off just grab a corner and pull save for the next time

Great idea! I would have never thought of that. This is why I love this forum!

Same here! Great idea.



Summer heat...you can have the windows tinted with darker shade. I've heard that it helps quite a bit. I'm thinking of doing ours.

My lovely DW made insulated drapes that go to the floor for us and they work great!

There are a couple of forum members who have installed Lexan on the inside of their windows and made their own dual pane windows. I have seen these in person and it is on my to do list. The cost is not much at all compared to what dual panes from the factory would cost.

_popupControl();

The bubble wrap idea is great. I have also found that sealing off the vents also helps.



And still can't get rid of the popup control verbage. Sorry
