In Europe, almost all camper vans and motorhomes use Dometic Seitz-style Double-Pane RV Windows. This Arctic Tern Double-Pane RV Window (450x1100mm) has 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.

Note: These are universal-fit windows which are not designed for any particular van model, so measure your preferred install location carefully before you order! It is important to understand that Arctic Tern double-pane RV windows have 3 sets of dimensions:
- the cutout dimensions for the window opening
- the frame dimensions of the window from the outside
- the blind & screen assembly dimensions on the inside.
The blind & screen assembly dimensions are the largest dimensions on these windows, so they're the most important measurements to consider (if you are using the blind/screen assembly, it is optional).
Before ordering, read the documents above and watch the "Considerations for Fitment" video. In brief:
- On the sides, you want a minimum of 3” flat surface beside the window from any support. On the top and bottom, you need a minimum of 1.5” flat surface from any support.
- 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. To choose the window thickness that's right for your build, you'll want to estimate the thickness of the whole "sandwich" of your finished wall, including the van body, insulation, soundproofing, fabric, panelling, etc. The thickness you select determines the depth of the window bracket and the length of the screws we send you with the window.
- 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.
- Making a template for your install is a great idea, though the windows do not come with a template.

Arctic Tern insulated windows
I put three of these in my Promaster - 450 tall x 610, 900, and 1100 long. They went in great and look very good. I am trying to achieve as much insulation value as I can and windows are a big part of that, so I was very happy to find insulated windows of any kind. The integrated screen and shade and various open positions make these particularly satisfying, since it is such a nice finished look. I managed the install OK, but there isn't really any room for error. The flanges on the window where the gasket fits to the van are relatively skinny, so the hole has to be big enough, but just. You get just a few millimeters of wiggle room before you undermine the gasket seal. So double check your outline and cut carefully! Use your inner trim ring to double check your outline and get it as straight and right as possible. I like that these assemble with gaskets instead of glue. And all three went in dry and have stayed dry through some heavy rains.
came ASAP-easy to install
item came so much faster than I expected and in great condition. I installed it way easier than i thought it would be, no extra costs for expensive adhesive and calking. Great windows, even though price is high im very happy.
