2017 Berkshire XL Double Pane Windows

I recently had the driver's side window replaced under warranty and the new window is single pane. All the other windows in the XL are double pane. I can't remember if the original driver's side window was double pane also. It seems strange that it would be the only single pane window in the RV. Can any other XL owner tell me if their driver side window is single or double pane ? Thanks !

My Berk 34QS is single pane on the driver's side.

I suspect that the front window, driver's side and door window are items that come under a motor vehicle jurisdiction. That affects tinting and other visibility issues. I imagine that double pane is not allowed because of the difficulty of controlling reflections and the possibility of internal fog that can't be cleared if the seal breaks.

I'd appreciate if any one who has a 2017 XL could check their driver side window to see if the large window above the slide window is single or double pane. Thanks.

They are all single pane and are all safety glass because they are in the cockpit. My 2011 is. All should be.
