I HAVE A 2006 FLEETWOOD PROVIDENCE RV. ALL OF MY STATIONARY WINDOWS ARE "FOGGING UP" WHICH IS A NUISANCE IN ITSELF. HOWEVER, MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW.

WE HAVE A 2005 FLEETWOOD PROVIDENCE 39S! ALL OF OUR WINDOWS ARE FOGGED UP! THEY STARTED FOGGING UP IN 2008 AND HAVE PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE! IT IS SO BAD MY HUSBAND CAN BARELY SEE OUT OF THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW! SOMETIMES I HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR TO SEE IF IT'S CLEAR! THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING!
