As others have motioned, you can see where the studs are on a dewy morning. Also a stud sensor will work using it on the inside of the wall. I have installed four windows using a stud sensor to find the studs and so far haven't hit anything I shouldn't. After marking the location of the window, I check for studs with a small nail and hammer. Be sure to check both horizontally and vertically with a nail. If you are installing the window by a slide-out, be sure to check the height of header over the slide opening. The headers extend past the slide opening about 2' and you don't want to cut into one. You can order a window from a RV window manufacture or from a RV dealer. I got one from a manufacture two years ago while we were at the Fall Rally and it was about $35.00 for a small bathroom window.
