As long as you're using frames that are the same size as your window cutout, you can replace the frame and glass without any issues. The Deluxe Window Frame for RV Entry Doors - Black # 37211021 is held together with screws like you mentioned and is 15-5/8" wide x 24-3/4" tall. This frame uses #6 flat head x 1-1/2" long installation screws that are not included, so you will need to source these locally.
