I can only see the last pic, but for sure this window has been leaking...
I just started a similar project on a 2002 Lance, my pics and write up are here.
Generally you take these apart from the outside in. My fiberglas siding was glued on and the only way it came off was in pieces with a chisel. If you have the tin siding, it goes on in rows like residential vinyl, so if you unstaple it carefully you can reinstall it.
Be aware that cabinets and interior walls, partitions, etc, are screwed to the wall from the OUTSIDE. In other words if this was like a regular house, they would put up the framing with the drywall on it, screw through the back of the drywall into the cabinets, then insul;ate and install sheathing and siding. So no fasteners visible from the outside, but you wreck the wall if you try to take cabinets out by pulling them from the inside.
