What is the best thing to use to clean the windows in my pop up?

A damp rag then wipe them off with a dry terri towel.

Don't use chemicals on your windows and especially not glass cleaner. It will damage them. If you must use something to get a spot off, use a mild car-wash soap and rinse it off right away. Avoid detergents if you can.

if you have stains and super dirty windows.  Plexus works VERY well.  Our windows were pretty bad when we bought the trailer and this stuff works great.  I bought ours a west marine, but I understand it is also carried at Motorcyle stores to clean visors.  Or any marine store.  Good stuff

I've heard others speak highly of Plexus, but I haven't tried it yet.  I have tried Meguiar's Plastic Cleaner and their Plastic Polish.  They work good on stuff like motorcycle helmet visors and motorcycle windshields, plastic car headlights that have faded to yellow or opaque, and other plastics, but I haven't tried it on the camper "windows" yet.  Down side is you have to buy 2 bottles at $10ea.

Plexus is very good stuff.  It can remove outgassing residue and oxidation on plastic surfaces.  Plastic that has turned yellow and foggy, can be cleaned up with Plexus.  It's great for the vinyl windows on PopUps, and the plastic headlights on my vehicles like the stuff too!

I like the meguirs stuff too, I use it on my car headlights that have yellowed etc.  However I think it would be rally hard to use on a large area like the windows of the pup.  Maybe to clean a subborn spot but not for the whole thing.  Plexus is an aerosol can, and is one step, pray and wipe off.  WOrks wonders

So far, I've been successful in cleaning the plastic/vinyl PUP windows with a water dampened paper towel, then wiping dry with another towel.  However, I will be getting some Plexus hopefully in the near future.
