1. A window for a recreational vehicle, comprising:
a frame,
a pane, which is attached to the frame so that said pane can pivot relative to the frame about a pivot axis between a closed position and an opened position, wherein the pane is larger than an opening defined by said frame such that from an outside view, pane covers said frame,
at least one actuating device mounted on the pane and being movable between a first state and a second state,
at least two locking elements configured to be movable between a released state and a locked state, one of said at least two locking elements disposed along a horizontal portion of said frame and a second of said at least two locking elements disposed along a vertical portion of said frame,
wherein in the released state the at least two locking elements permit a pivotal movement of the pane between the closed position and the opened position, and wherein in the locked state the at least two locking elements prevent the pivotal movement of the pane between the closed position and the opened position,
wherein the frame has at least one cavity corresponding to each of said at least one actuating device and said at least two locking elements, each said at least one cavity at least partially receiving each of the at least one actuating device and the locking element when the at least one actuating device is in the second state and the locking element is in the locked state so that each of said at least one actuating device and said at least two locking elements are hidden within each said at least one cavity,
at least one extendable adjuster comprising two lateral ends, one of the two lateral ends of the at least one extendable adjuster coupled to the frame and the other of the two lateral ends of the at least one extendable adjuster coupled to the pane, such that the at least one extendable adjuster supports the pane with respect to the frame when the pane is in the opened position,
wherein the frame has at least one further cavity, receiving the at least one extendable adjuster at least partially when the pane is in the closed position with respect to the frame;
wherein the at least one cavity is configured to receive and hide the at least one actuating device, the locking element when the at least one actuating device is in the second state and the locking element is in the locked state, and said at least one further cavity is configured to receive and hide the at least one extendable adjusters when the pane is in the closed position, from in a frontal view of the window;
wall support devices which are connected to the frame and engage a wall, said wall support devices having a first position to retain the frame relative to the wall and a second position to release the frame relative to the wall.
