I'm going to reach out to Thor to ask their opinion. Yeah I know. Good luck with that one.
Why would you think that? A window is not structure or structural. You got to put framing in just like home construction. It is worse in a moving RV than moves applying shock, vibe, and side movement.

That being said, from the drawing it looks like THOR actually framed the opening for a window. That is what would have had to be done if they did not. Otherwise you would have long term problems from cutting through framing without putting structure framing in for support. Thor must make this frame for a rear window in other models.
