While we are still in the right front area of this moho, we may as well go a little deeper.
Remember this piece of steel, inside the green arrow? I did not remove it with the lower area, but did remove it with the upper portion in this area.

Well, here it is with the framing removed.
The area inside the green rectangle, is a piece of steel sheet, while the yellow arrows are pointing at pieces of 1.5" x 1.5" square steel, which is part of the dash.
One is vertical and the other is horizontal.

If you want to do something, you will find a way.
If you don't, you will find an excuse.

Here is a shot of the inside, of that piece of vertical wall steel. It is fastened to the sheet steel by self tapping sheet metal screws, indicated by green arrows.
The red arrow points to a phillips head screw, which, I have no idea, why it's there.
Perhaps something was there, and broke off, I don't know.

And here is a different view. This is also part of the sheet steel, that you can see from the outside.
It is bent into a 90 degree angle, and fastened to the vertical steel, (1.5 x 1.5), shown in the earlier pic.
The red arrow shows where the screws were that held this to the wall steel.

Even though you can't see it, there is an air vent just to the left of this, and behind the carpet, that is pulled to the left.
The heater fan is just to the left at the upper end of what we can see.

Back inside, and above the co-pilot's window is this steel framing, which is a part of the wall.
The top piece, (green arrow), is the 1 x 1.5 inch steel that the wall studs are welded to. That piece runs all the way to the rear of the coach.
The steel on the left (yellow arrow), is the one that runs down the side of the rv, and is the piece of steel that the front cap, and the front of the wall siding, was riveted to, down the side.
I cut this, at the top, where the yellow line is.
When I looked at this, it turns out that this is a butt joint, instead of a mitered one. The vertical piece just butts into the bottom of the top one. I though originally, before I looked at it, that it might be mitered, but it wasn't.

And here, is the top of the window frame, and as usual, there is a plastic/vinyl piece in the corner.
Fleetwood used one at the top and bottom rear of this window. The front 2 are different.

This is the top front of the window frame. As you can see, they used a different piece of plastic. Since the frame was not square in this area, at the top, it is screwed in.
At the front, it was nailed, and as you can see, it doesn't fit all that well.

At the bottom front of the co-pilot's window, is no plastic.
Since the window, is far from anything square, they used a piece of plywood here, cut to a similar radius of the window.
As you can see here, the plywood is not in very good shape. The reason for that is, the caulk between the window frame and the siding was bad.
