Adding frameless window?

Has anyone added a frameless window to their RV? We have a 2019 Greyhawk 30X and the bedroom has limited windows so thinking of removing the faux headboard and adding a bunk-style window in it place. My questions are:

1) Is this actually feasible (I understand I'll need to deal with possible structural members, etc)?
2) If so, where did you find a frameless window that fits & matches? Does anyone know who makes the windows for Jayco (Hehr, Kinro, etc)?
3) Anything else to consider?

Thanks in advance!

You might find one nearer to your location, to save on shipping, etc. but Lippert is a good source for RV windows https://www.lci1.com/rv-windows, including the frameless windows you referred to.

Good luck!

Contact service@jayco.com with the last 8 digits of your VIN# and ask them to send you the wall framing drawing for the wall in question, so you know where all the framing is at prior to cutting the opening. That way, you will know what you are up against ahead of time.

X-2 The problem I see is the "lack of framing" to support the window. If other models didn't come with a window then I doubt it is framed to install and support one.

He would have to install some cross brace framing, but at least he would know where the upright studs are positioned.
