Well its time to think about them again.
I want to put up temporary "storm windows" on the Safari. This would be for late fall and early spring use, to reduce condensation and improve insulation, but preserve the view.
So how do I do this? I have searched the forums, and am not sure how to proceed. Some use insulation and foam (but this cancels the view). Some use shrink wrap plastic (ewww....).
I thought about clear (or darkened) plexiglass with foam and snaps on the inside of the flip-out windows.
Has anybody tried that? Any specs on it? Curved window glass makes it a little iffy.
I don't think the dark mesh used by Lewster for hot weather is going to help in cold weather. 
or should I just wait for global warming? |
Airstream tried the same thing with double pane windows.
Unless you have an absolute positive seal, moisture will collect between the two panes.
The double pane, to some degree, would be a thermal barrier, but I wouls suggest that you leave a small hole between the two panes, so that the moisture will not build up.
