My first thought was to put a short sheet metal screw between the rivets and secure it with wire, as previously stated.

I always carry some Gorilla Tape, the true 100mph tape.

Good Luck
Gorilla tape is a life saver when needed. I will say that I can't imagine a camper being sealed so tight a vacuum sets up; my trailer probably leaks enough to ensure good airflow with the windows all closed. If I had to stop that window from opening, would drill a hole through the outer frame and put a sheet metal screw in as a temp measure rather than duct tape all over the outside. When I got home and did the repair with the new handle would just fill the hole with the dreaded silicon caulk. Or heck, a tiny bit of Gorilla duct tape!
