Window failure

We have a 2015 classic travel trailer 21 ft. We noticed this year the bathroom and entry door windows failed. They are the frosted ones. Has anyone else ran across this problem?

Is the entry door window a true obscured glass or is it simply a obscure vinyl layer?

I can't remember what the situation was with my 19 door window but my on my 21 it was only vinyl and I peeled it off to make a clear window.

What do you mean "failed"?

Aren't the window and bathroom windows both single pane? How can they 'fail'?

Failed?

The window in my 2007 17B started to leak. The rubber dried up around the glass and shrunk. I took out the rubber and caulked it in place. I used black RTV gasket sealant, mainly because I had a fresh tube sitting on my toolbox.
