Expressed as a %, the increase in r value is huge. From about 0.85 to about 1.5 is 77% better insulation. Plus, as Jim says there is far less condensation on the dual pane windows. Much MUCH quieter as well.
Have you had any water issues with the -20 temps? Sure sound like a lot of folks have at much warmer temps. This Thursday is going to be another cold one as well.
First time: Water supply froze in the wall of the building where I connect my heated hose (from K&H Mfg). Landlord built a "box" around the spigot coming through the wall, in order to keep this from happening again. Box built out of the 1" duct board insulation.
Second time: When the landlord built the afore-mentioned box, he enclosed the thermostat on my heated hose - therefore, the thermostat 'thought' it was warm outside and turned off. Hose froze! I relocated the thermostat outside of the enclosure, hose heated and thawed in about 10 minutes.
Last time: Got back to Nebraska after visiting OKC for Christmas and the hose was frozen again. For some reason, thermostat was not switching. I removed it all together and the hose thawed within 10 minutes.
Sounds like your Coach is doing well with only the supply water issues. That is great considering the temperature. Thanks for the reply. Sure going to drop down this Thursday.
No water problems since.

Just to be clear: I don't think they are thermo-anything; no argon between the panes like is typical in residential homes. It's just two panes of glass. However, as others have said, it still helps.
