I talked to a Coachmen rep this morning regarding adding windows to the ends of the living room slide. The answer I got is that there isn't a stud type framework per se. Instead they add an aluminum frame where the window opening will be and it provides the necessary interior structure for the window to clamp around. My understanding is that it keeps the window frame from crushing the wall over time.

This doesn't seem like an insurmountable problem, but, you'd have to open the wall to really come up with a plan. That said, do you open the inside wall or the outside wall to take a look? I'm thinking outside would be an easier repair from an aesthetic standpoint since its flat sheet metal. You would have the wallpaper and the wife to deal with if you open the interior wall!!
