Windows create stress points where siding and the integrity of the sidewall may be jeopardized. The stress cracks we have developed on our 22 year old 5th wheel are at the corners of some of the windows as well as the corner of the slideout opening.

If you haven't already, I would spend some time in the bedroom area during differing weather conditions to see if there is a need for another window or would portable fan(s) or fantastic vent fans provide the cross ventilation you need.
Our 5th wheel has windows at the head end and foot end of our bedroom so we can get a good cross breeze depending on how the wind hits the 5th wheel. We have a fantastic fan vent and will use a portable fan to provide the circulation we need if we aren't using the air conditioner or the cross breeze isn't sufficient.
I came across a Ryobi fan powered by 18v rechargeable batteries. We use this fan when we are boondocking along with the fantastic vent fans. The Ryobi will last 10 hours per fully charged battery. I carry 3 batteries to use with the fan or other Ryobi tools I carry.
