Bigfoot Dinette Window Enlarging - Anyone Done it?

One of the many future projects on the Bigfoot is to redo the windows. I have the older window style where the double pane window seal is pulled towards the center of the window. They are also looking quite aged and time for a refresh.

One of the things I have contemplated doing was to make the dinette window larger by maybe 2 or 3" in height. It seems like this window could have been larger to begin with and in my opinion should have.

Has anyone else contemplated such an upgrade?

    It's hard to do without knowing what's above that window. In theory you can just cut the hole bigger and slip a new piece of framing into where you made the opening wider and just install a larger window. Wood framing like I had on the Lance wasn't bad, but if the frame is aluminum tube it's a whole lot more difficult.

    The challenge is that there may be blocking for frame strength above the window, or 12v/120v wiring can be running above that window. If you run into that, then the whole job just got messy.
