The fixed RV windows I've seen (which is far from all possible models!) generally have the glass secured and sealed with what I think is a urethane sealant and then the rubber gasket thingy put in from the outside. Removal of the glass (or plexiglass) means taking out the rubber gasket, which is more for looks and some structural strength but not really part of the sealing, and then removing the glass which probably would require cutting the sealant by sliding a razor blade or similar knife between the glass and the frame from the inside. There's no need to remove the inside trim/compression ring that holds the frame in place.
Generally the rubber gasket thingy on the outside will require replacement rather than be reusable, I believe.
This is a generally similar approach to how most auto windshields are mounted, if that helps in understanding the construction.
