Emergency exit window/ kitchen tap

I have a 242RESL and wondering if anyone has ever used their dinette emergency window for getting a breeze? Not sure if it's hinged on top or falls off. Also not sure if frameless window would clear trailer wall when opened.
Also my taps are only one Sumer old and the kitchen one fell apart. Handle keeps falling off. Is it possible/cheaper to replace it with a REAL one? Anybody ever done this? Wondering if the plastic plumbing would fit a real tap or if mods have to be made?

Thanks

I guess I should mention, in case someone has a different trailer, that the window has the 2 small square red clamp handles on the bottom ledge and no screen.

I open mine all the time, they're hinged at the top like the regular ones. So far on my 291 resl the tap has been fine.

Good to know. Does it open farther than the regular windows? Hard to get a breeze through those. How do you hold yours open? Stick?

If you are questioning the opening of your emergency exit wouldn't now be a good time to see how far it opens, rather than later?
