To the measurement part of the post:
Don't know if they fit that bus model but here are the measurements of the windows I have.  (See attached picture)
I think you just stick these in the gap of the current frame (i.e. take the current window frame out).
Then there is a 2-piece metal "holder" (for the lack of a better word) that hold the window in from the inside (with a bunch of screws.).
That metal piece goes all around the window.
Just have to add window sealer (that comes with the windows).
I think that's how RV windows are typically mounted.   
In case you can see the picture:
The window is 25" high plus 1/2' for the rubber on the top and 1/2" on the bottom.
Total length is about 81 1/4" plus 1/2" on the left and 1/2" on the right for the rubber seal.
(Based on measuring it from the window center 40 1/8 + 41 1/8 (plus the rubber seal on each side))
Diagonally it's 82 3/4 plus 1/2" on the left and 1/2" on the right for the rubber seal.
I couldn't figure out how to measure the short diagonal.

You measure the short diagonal with a level placed vertically at the short  end. Plumb the level, make a pencil mark on side of coach. Do the same for other end. Then measure the distance between marks. Do the same for the long ends.

Thanks, Clifford. I know your plate has been full lately. Glad things are easing up a little for you and the Mrs. I appreciate all your help.

Hey Bob,
On the off chance you do not want all 6 windows, I could take 2 off of your hands and save you a bit of shipping. You were first in line though, so I can appreciate that.
Thanks,

Ryker,

I appreciate the thought. I initially thought about just taking 4, but I can use 6 so decided to buy all of them when they became available. Preliminary research indicates that shipping won't be too bad.

Thanks,

The Peninsula windows made it safely from California to Georgia, via Central Freight Lines. Picked them up on Monday and now look forward to installing them.

Special thanks to Matt for "greasing the skids" on his end.

Thanks,
