Class A RV Windshield Replacement

Class A RV windshield replacement typically costs $1,800–$4,500 installed for a full two-piece set, or $900–$2,200 for a single side. Class A coach glass is built by the RV manufacturer — not the chassis maker — so the panel is sourced from the coach builder or an aftermarket RV glass fabricator, and lead times run 3–15 business days. Most Class A windshields are set in a rubber gasket or urethane bead and are replaceable on site by a two-tech mobile crew.

What a Class A windshield actually costs

Class A glass is the most expensive replacement in the RV world because the panels are large, curved, low-volume, and specific to a coach shell that may only have been built for three or four model years. A gas Class A on a Ford F-53 with flat two-piece glass sits at the low end. A diesel pusher with deeply curved, tinted, shaded-band glass sits at the top.

Almost every Class A carries two windshield halves separated by a center post. Shops price per side, but replacing both at once is standard practice when the coach is more than a few years old — the second panel is usually scratched, hazed, or delaminating, and the labor is already paid for.

Single side, flat gas coach: $900 – $1,600 installed
Single side, curved diesel pusher: $1,400 – $2,400 installed
Full two-piece set, gas coach: $1,800 – $2,900 installed
Full two-piece set, diesel pusher: $2,800 – $4,500 installed
New gasket or urethane kit: $150 – $400
Rotted or delaminated window frame repair: $300 – $1,500

Why the chassis maker can't help you

Owners routinely call Freightliner or Ford first and get turned away. On a Class A, the chassis supplier delivers a bare rolling frame — the cab, the dash, and the windshield opening are all built by the coach manufacturer. That means the part number lives with Winnebago, Tiffin, Newmar or Thor, not with the chassis brand on the mud flap.

For discontinued coaches (Monaco, Country Coach, National RV, Beaver), the sourcing path is an aftermarket RV glass fabricator that cross-references by shell dimensions rather than VIN. A specialist will ask for your model year, floor plan, and a tape measure reading across the opening.

Mobile service on a Class A

Nearly all Class A windshield work is done on site — at a campground, storage lot, or driveway — because the coach is too tall for most auto glass bays. The crew needs a level surface, roughly 15 feet of clearance on the working side, and dry weather above about 40°F for the urethane to cure.

Budget 3–5 hours for a two-piece set and one hour of safe-drive-away time after the last bead is set. Gasket-set glass has no cure window and can be driven immediately.

Class A Motorhome glass FAQs

How much is a Class A motorhome windshield?

$1,800–$4,500 installed for a two-piece set, or $900–$2,200 per side. Gas coaches with flat glass are cheapest; curved diesel pusher glass is the most expensive.

Should I replace both halves at once?

Usually yes on a coach older than five years. The labor and mobile trip charge are shared, and a mismatched new-and-old pair is visibly different in tint and clarity.

Does insurance cover a Class A windshield?

Comprehensive coverage on an RV policy generally covers glass after your deductible. With a $500 deductible on a $3,200 job, filing is almost always worth it.

Can a Class A windshield be chip-repaired?

Yes — Class A glass is laminated, so chips smaller than a quarter and cracks under about six inches away from the edge can be resin-filled for $100–$200.
