re - dual-pane sliders
.
Probably any local-owned family-operated home-improvement center might have these.
We acquired our versions while foraging the Junction City, Oregon yards and barns at:
www.oregondiscountwindows.com
.
For an idea of our placement nearly two decades ago, we invite you to look through our introduction with plenty of portraits.
And we heard all the dire -- theoretical -- predictions about 'they will never hold up to the rough tracks' we explore searching for the next perfect boondock spot.
To that, we say 'Balderdash!', Real-World proves otherwise...

An aside:
Although diminished since 'this phase of this economic collapse', Junction City still has more RecreateVehicle dealers than anyplace in the known universe.
You need a horse trailer or toter, the town and area offers those, too.
.
And the local-owned family-operated Chevron filling-station is usually at least quarter-fedbux cheaper for diesel than anyplace in a thirty-mile circle.

I recently installed 6 dual pane vinyl insulated windows into my bus. 24x24" windows fit the opening perfectly after cutting off the nailing fins. There is a 1/8" overlap on each side, just right for a sealing bead from the outside. I ripped some cedar wood for each side leaving room for sealer, buttered up the wood with Vulkem 116 and smooched the sticks in place. Once the sealer cured I ran a bead of the same from the outside. The windows sealed in place very well embedded in Vulkem.

Grabbed a pic to show what the windows look like installed, this area will get buried in spray foam. I filled the gap below the window with Vulkem too.
