Just a Little Hiccup
Just a Little Hiccup – Meaning as one travels the highways, one can meet up with debris falling from other vehicles. Things that can hit your vehicles windows and possibly creating chips in the glass.
We have had a few chips in the big RV window over the years. Chips that can be easily fixed by trained technicians.
But, not this one. I am not sure what hit us, but it was big and loud. I know I jumped when the window cracked. It was a big truck of some kind that went past us and then BAM. A nice fish eye in the window of the RV.
Come to find out, not many people like to replace RV windows these days. Especially when traveling. We were not able to find someone to fix the glass until we get down to Georgia. We hoped the glass wouldn’t crack more as we traveled on all the bumpy roads before then.
Husband did some research. He found out that putting super glue over the area on the outside might help keep it from getting worse. So he did that.
We made it to Georgia with no further damage.
Thanks to the internet, we found a team of guys that have their own business and all they do is replace windshields on RV and Semi Trucks.
Great guys and they did a fantastic job. It was a hard job, they said this glass weighed over 200 lbs. So they needed 3 to set the window in place. It takes about a week to cure and they did it right on site where we were camping.
So I put the cat in the bathroom and sat outside with the dogs and watched them do their thing. I will be keeping their phone number just in case.
Have a Great Weekend

This post really stood out to me, excellent work.
Glad it didn’t go through and whack someone.
🤣😎🙃
That would have been terrible, the shock of the rock hitting the windshield, in an instant instantly worrying if it would come thru Glad you two were okay and found a place to come to see you and not the other way around.
Yes, and worrying if we would make it all the way down south without it cracking more. 🙂
I remember at one time they banned open trucks on the highways for that very reason, but now it could have been kicked up and you were right near the big truck – very unfortunate for you, but luckily your mobile guys were available.
Have a great weekend, Sandra ! 💙💙💙💙
Thank you very much Francine, you also. 🙂
Yeah! What is the name of the company? There is a company in St Mary GE KOA that does repairs
These guys are called Prime Concept Glass Repair.
It was Tiffany. It made such a loud noise and it happened so fast. It is all fixed now. 🙂
Yikes! That is so scary, I’m glad you found help on the road!
Awesome on the immediate action!! When I got a chip (rock kicked up by another car), I had no experience and it rapidly turned into a full windshield crack. Fortunately, a new car windshield was relatively inexpensive.
Yes, with the bumpy roads, o e never knows how long it will last.
Wow! Thank God you’re safe. Way cool niche business they have. Answer to prayer! Have a great weekend.
Thank you Gerry. Yes, and they just happened to live in the town we were heading to.
I’m so glad I found this post—super helpful!
ooof, yeah – does look like a big bunch of glass to be lifting out!

It was quite something to watch them change the glass out. They did a great job.
Yikes, but no big deal, right? Part of the “fun”.
Yes, part of the fun. With a big window like that it is bound to happen eventually. 🙂
Good job! It’s easy to ignore the difficulty of the task until it happens…
Yes, i had no idea the work involved to get this window out. I am glad we found these guys. They knew what they were doing for sure.
