TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION

TEXT: Thank you for your letter of January 22, 1969, concerning safety glazing in your motor home.

We do not know what is meant by the description "Windows-Double Density - glass - set."

Glasing materials in a motor home must be in accordance with Federal Standard No. 205. Glass in the windshield must be AS1, not AS2 as your letter states. The windows on either side of the driver's compartment may be AS2, and AS2 may be used in the balance of the windows when needed for driver visibility or AS3 may be used in the balance of the windows when not needed for driver visibility.

The markings of glazing materials cited in your letter indicate that the materials used in your motor home are in accordance with Federal Standard No. 205, with the exception that you state that AS2 is marked on the windshield.

Please advise me if AS1 is not installed in the windshield of your motor home.

Sincerely,

January 22, 1969.

Gentlemen:

A few months ago I bought a new Dodge Motor Home (Travco) and it was ordered out from production with a number of option equipment items. One was identified as -

"Windows - Double Density - glass - Set

As of this date I am not too sure that this was included in the assembly and I have no way to identify the item and judge if I have paid a fair price.

Will you please assist me - The glass in the windshield and two side of driver compartment are marked as

Guardian Safety Glass As 2-67

Tempalite Solid Tint GG M 66

The glasses on the side walls are market's as follows - TWI-Lite Safety-Lite AS 3 M 21

The rear window is marked -

AT Asorbing Safety Glass

Solid Tempered M " 286

I am unable to see any identification on the two small glasses in the entrance doow assembly.

Your prompt comments will be appreciated.

Yours very truly

T. Sudderth
