Not sure where to post this so feel free to move it to the correct area. We are currently on our way back to California from West Texas and have stopped in Van Horn Texas. We have a severe draft coming from the couch area. We felt it before but it wasn't 28 degrees before. Supposed to get into the teens tonight with a windchill of zero. Before I tear into this when I get home, I wanted to know if anyone else had any similar issues?

Cold air falling from the window. Happens with all windows, even dual pane, worse with single. Windows offer little to no insulation.

It sounds like you are just feeling the cold radiating from the windows.
The colder it gets, the more you feel it.

Some people have tried metal foil coated bubble wrap insulation available at Home Depot cut to size and velcro attached to the window frames. Also make sure your inside slide seals seem tight.

A good curtain will help insulate it from the living space. We noticed, if you just lower the shade, helps tremendously.
