In Europe, almost all camper vans and motorhomes use Dometic Seitz-style Double-Pane RV Windows. These 550x1100mm Arctic Tern double-pane RV windows have many advantages over typical North American camper van windows, including the following:

• The windows are double-glazed and include an integrated day/night shade, providing much better thermal performance for keeping warmth in and heat out as needed
• The integrated day/night shade is a much more versatile window covering than curtains, blinds or magnetic window coverings
• The entire pane of the window swings out on gas struts, and can be positioned at angles of 20, 40 and 60 degrees.
• The acrylic double-glazing makes for a window assembly that weighs 40% less than a typical single-pane glass RV window of a similar size.

When Fitting an Arctic Tern Double-Pane Window on a Van

1. On the sides, you want a minimum of 3” flat surface beside the window from any support.
2. On the top and bottom, you need a minimum of 1.5” flat surface from any support.
3. The minimum wall thickness is 1” (actually 15/16”), so you cannot just clamp the window into place on the sheet metal. You will always need a wood or metal frame to make up the minimum thickness required.
4. You must also make room for the blind/screen assembly on the inside of the van body, as the blind/screen assembly is larger than the external dimension of the window.
5. Making a template for your install is a great idea, though the windows do not come with a template.
