Our '93 Lance 990 has a removeable glass window and frame inside the window in the top front of the cabover/bed area. I don't understand why they did this. It is clamped in with 6 small, cheap, and weak sliding clamps so it isn't designed to be weatherproof. The po put something covered with foil inbetween the two panes of glass but after we take that out - then what?

I believe that to be an emergency exit hatch. It should be weatherproof. The one on my SunLite is framed like a roof vent, and has a crank up cover like a roof vent, but the screen and vent is on a hinged frame with a quick latch, which once unlatched the whole thing swings open to the outside so you could crawl out in case of fire I suppose. It is solid enough to hold in place but the frame is plastic and aluminum and the latch plastic so if you needed you could bust it out in a hurry.

Nope, the exit hatch is in the middle overhead of the cabover. I'm referring to the forward window. Last week, when we were out in 30-degree nights, it got terminally wet - just like the single windows. |

What you have is an interior storm window, should fit pretty tight in a groove of the window frame, this creates a dead air space between windows. |
