marcel,
There are 2 types of new windows.
The older of the two is the one with the sliding glass.
The glass is flat, but looks curved around the frame and the tint is about the same or slightly darker than the standard.
The gasket or the fin gasket doe little to stop noise.
The real new one is the Frameless Glass.
The tint is considerably darker and the vent glass is fully gasketed, and the glass is curved.
Being it is the newer design it does cost more.
You can go to our site and get an idea.
There are not many sets left for now till we sell out.

Looks like we now have only 2 sets of Framless Glass windows left.
We even stock the small vent glass in case people break them.
Marcel, you'll like the way it looks and sound of quiet .

We really like our RC Lawrence T-slider windows, we got them from Gene at GMC Motorhome Enhancements. Although we we unable to reuse the interior trim, a generic push on trim odd the job.
Beware, the original gooey sealant we scraped off to install new windows is unforgivable and gets everywhere (use lots of drop cloths)

Here's a couple pics of my coach after installing the later design flush, curved windows. The lack of vertical pillars improve the views from inside...and being airtight down the road with zero rattling, it's one of the most dramatic improvements yet, IMHO. Woody.

If your coach has been repainted, you might not want the frameless windows

Our coach had been repainted and the frames on the new windows just barely covered the old paint.

fyi
