Can windows be flipped?

It seems I just can't leave well enough alone... Ever since I bought my trailer 3 years ago, it has bothered me that the two door side sliding windows open in a way that in my opinion is opposite of common sense. (See attached picture with both windows open, disregard wierd reflection of RV next to me).The one window has the open section right above the hot vent of the refrigerator, and is also blocked if I latch the door open. The other window the opening part is right above the outdoor stove. I'm hoping I can unscrew the inside screws and rotate them 180* so that the top is now the bottom, and the front part of each window opens. It would seem to make more sense.

    I only see one minor problem for this project. I would recommend you check is the rain vents. Are there additional drip vents on the top now? If not, when you flip the windows you may need to cut some more in so the rain water can drain out.
    Other than that I see no reason why they couldn't be flipped.

    Hope this helps.

    Lo0king at the picture I don't think you can flip the windows. It looks like one vertical edge has a rounded corner and the other is 90 degrees.
