How to replace an internal wall with window in an RV.?

Question

There was a water leak in the roof that had rotten out boards in the ceiling and walls. The leak is no longer there. The rotted boards have been replaced. Now working on the inside of the RV, what is the best way to replace a wall when there is a window on the wall? Should I remove the window or can the wall be replaced without breaking the bead and removing the window(s)?

Answer 1

You have a window in an interior wall, or are you working on the inside of an exterior wall?  

Your best results will be achieved by removing the window, and if necessary, the siding of the RV.  Then complete the repair work, replace the siding and the window.  Make certain that you are caulking and sealing as necessary.

UPDATE:  Since you want to do it right, I would remove the windows, do the work, replace and reseal the windows.  Here are some links that you may find of benefit:
