We don’t have the window, but you might look at one of these. https://buggbanner.com/

Oh yes !! The owner is a fellow Marine Veteran. Spoke with him about my coach I have the front window and cleaning it was a B !! Ordered the bug banner did the installation, warning you will be drilling into your unit but it’s easy.

Did a cross country trip twice and the glass was clean. Don’t get expectations of it helping with rocks because it’s nylon and not padded but will provide some protection.

Just did this upgrade to it and sent it to the owner he loved it !!

I put a bounce dryer sheet on a Swiffer Mop wet the window and scrub . Bugs come off easy, then follow up with a car wash brush and rinse.

wouldn't it be nice to not have to use water or a dryer sheet to clean the front window? Its literally 2 minutes up and 2 minutes down...

This is by far the best ever, just spray it on and rinse it off. No damage to glass, paint or chrome. McKee's 37 MK37-100 16 fl. oz.... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IB15YSW?

The banner is a cool idea, but then you still have to clean it, unless you like sticky nasty bugs to be on it inside your under storage compartment, which by the way, the yellow jackets love!. I used to get up and clean the glass every stop, because my wife would not feed me dinner unless I cleaned it, cuz she did not want to sit there and eat dinner with bugs on the glass next to her in our 3820 FK. :-) Then I found out most RV park will let you wash off the front cap, just not your whole rig, so I have a nice brush pole that extends to about 12 feet, and a 1/2 bucket of good soapy water, and the bugs just come right off. Then after rinsing it off, just put a towel on the brush, and dried it. It was not as big a deal as getting the ladder out and using windex, and competing with the yellow jackets while trying to clean the windows.

I hook up a garden hose to the blue coiled hose in the wet bay area with a sprayer handle on the end. I open the tail gate of the pick-up truck and back the tail gate up to the camper so I can use it as a platform. I have a 4 foot step ladder I can set up in the bed of the truck. I spray down the front cap with the hose. I use a brush on a long handle to scrub the window, spray the bugs off, and then follow up with Windex and a paper towel. It sounds difficult, but it takes only about 10 minutes and the window is clean. You can do this anywhere.

If you are hesitant to use the hose with water, then just use the Windex and paper towel. You'll be able to reach the top of the window easily from the ladder. And no, it's not dangerous. I'm 65 years old with an artificial knee and have no problems doing this.
