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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR
