Motorhome windshield replacement from a motor home glass shop
Billings Precision Windshield replaces RV and motorhome windshields at our downtown Billings glass shop, from one-piece Class C cab windshields to the large two-piece glass on Class A coaches. Motor home glass is a specialty here: we source the right panels for Winnebago, Thor, Tiffin, Fleetwood, Newmar and Jayco coaches, bed them in urethane or the coach's rubber gasket as designed, and handle RV side windows, entry door glass and chip repair on the same visit.
Billings Precision Windshield provides motorhome windshield replacement to Billings and surrounding Montana towns, including Laurel, Columbus, Red Lodge, Hardin and Lockwood, and to travelers on I-90 and I-94 who need glass before the next leg of a trip. Call ahead with the coach year, make and model so we can check glass availability before you drive in.

- Glass sourced by coach make, model and chassis year
- Room for a Class A coach at our downtown shop
- Gasket or urethane installs, matched to the original design

Types of RV glass replacement we handle
Motor homes use very different glass from front to back. Here is what comes through our Billings shop.
Class A Windshield Replacement
Class A coaches usually carry a two-piece windshield, a left and a right panel meeting at a center divider. Each panel is large, curved and heavy, and many are shared across only a few model years. We replace one side or both, set the divider strip and seal the edges against wind-driven rain.
Class C Motorhome Windshield Replacement
A Class C uses the windshield of its cab chassis, often a Ford E-Series or Chevrolet Express cutaway, or a Mercedes Sprinter. The glass is closer to a van windshield, which keeps the cost and wait time lower. Newer Sprinter-based units may also need camera calibration.
Class B Camper Van Windshield
Class B camper vans use the same windshield as the standard van they are built on, so glass is usually easy to source. Expect $200 to $800 for the replacement, plus ADAS calibration if the van has a forward camera.
RV Side Window Replacement
Coach side windows are often framed tempered or dual-pane units set in aluminum frames. A broken pane can be replaced in the frame or as a full window. We match the tint and frame finish so the coach does not end up with one odd window.
RV Windshield Repair
A chip under 1 inch on a Class A windshield is well worth repairing, given the price of the glass. Coaches pick up gravel on the same sanded Montana highways as cars, and a long drive with temperature swings is how a small chip becomes a long crack. We fill it with resin the same day.
Entry Door and Cab Glass
Entry door glass, cab door windows and the small vent and quarter panels on chassis cabs break too, usually from a slammed door or a break-in at a trailhead. We order or cut the right piece and fit new rubber channel where the old one has dried out.
Why RV windshields crack on Montana trips
Billings is the last big service city before Yellowstone and the Beartooth Highway for many RV routes, and the roads that lead there are hard on glass. Loaded trucks share I-90 and I-94, and winter traction sand stays on the shoulders into spring. A Class A windshield is a big, upright target for every pebble.
Coach glass also flexes. A long wheelbase twisting over a rough approach puts stress on the corners of a two-piece windshield, and a chip near the edge can run under that stress. Summer storms between May and September bring hail on top of that. When an RV windshield cracks mid-trip, the question is whether the right panel can be found fast.
Before you drive in
- Note the coach year, make, model and chassis
- Photograph the damage and the part number etched in the glass corner
- Tape a fresh chip to keep out water and grit
- Tell us if you are on a schedule so we can plan the install day
Does insurance cover RV windshield replacement?
Usually, yes. Most RV policies include comprehensive coverage, and glass damage from rocks, hail and vandalism falls under it, minus your deductible. Because a Class A windshield can cost several thousand dollars, the claim is usually worth filing. A chip repair is often paid in full.
We give the adjuster the glass part number, the labor time and any calibration the chassis needs, which speeds approval. Full-time RVers with policies from another state are fine; the claim follows the coach, not the address.
OEM and aftermarket RV glass
Coach builders source windshields from a small number of glass makers, and some Class A panels are only made in batches. When OEM glass is on back order, an OEM-equivalent panel made to the same fit and curvature may be ready sooner. We tell you which options exist for your coach, the wait for each and the price difference, then let you choose.
For chassis cabs and camper vans the choice is the same as on a car: OEM glass with the carmaker logo or OEE glass made to the same spec. Either way, the install follows the urethane maker's minimum drive-away time before the coach moves. For a pickup or tow vehicle with damage too, see back glass replacement.
Pricing
How much does RV windshield replacement cost?
RV windshield replacement costs depend on the class. A Class A motorhome windshield typically runs $1,000 to $5,000, often for a two-piece set. A Class B camper van windshield runs about $200 to $800, the same as the base van. Class C cab glass usually lands between those, close to a van windshield.

FAQ
RV windshield FAQ
How long does it take to get an RV windshield?
Class B and Class C windshields are often available within days because they share glass with common vans and cab chassis. Class A panels vary: some are stocked by distributors, others ship from the maker. We check availability for your exact coach before you drive in and give you an honest wait time.
Can you replace just one side of a two-piece RV windshield?
Yes. On a Class A coach with a split windshield, each panel is a separate piece, so we replace only the damaged side. We still inspect the other panel and the center divider, because a loose divider or an old seal on the good side can leak once the new panel is in.
Is a cracked RV windshield safe to drive on?
A small chip away from the driver's view is usually safe for a short drive, but a crack across the driver's view is not, and Montana law (MCA 61-9-405) bars driving with a windshield that materially blocks the view. Large coach glass also cracks faster under flex, so get it checked before a long leg.
Do you work on travel trailers and fifth wheels?
Yes, for their windows and door glass. Travel trailers and fifth wheels have no windshield, but their side windows, entry door glass and front windows break from gravel and storms. We replace the pane or the full framed window to match the original.
Will insurance pay for a motorhome windshield?
If your RV policy has comprehensive coverage, glass damage from rocks, hail or vandalism is usually covered after your deductible. Given what a Class A windshield costs, filing a claim usually makes sense. We provide the part number and labor details your insurer needs.
