Not side to side, but vertically. The window sills have been raised. Apparently market research shows this makes people feel "more secure."

You'll probably see one of those lenses on the back window. For various design reasons, the back windows on RV's are not large. These lenses are cheap plastic fresnel lenses, the kind that are sold as magnifiers. They stick to the inside of the window and away you go! They were ahead of their time after all.
