There was one for sale on here in that size not long ago, he couldn’t sell it so then said in the advert it’s now free as he didn’t want to take it to the tip.

So I paid for a courier and it delivered it cost £9, a shame to Chuck it away I thought, the roof light had come from an almost new van and was like new, the old sealant came off in 5 minutes.

So scour the classifieds is my tip.

Absolute beginners.
The Seitz is a straight swap, you can ease the hinge pins out of the old one and just swap the vision panel if it's just that giving the problem, done that, have that "T" shirt ;)

We have just got a micro heki 280 x 280 for our bathroom from Jackson Leisure, hymer and other motorhome manufacturers don't make rooflights, so just find one you fancy as long as it fit the hole in the roof. 😁 Bob.

Moved over to the Dark Side after 16 yrs tugging.
We came across a caravan / motorhome breaker called Pulse Recovery Services at Little Lightwood Farm, Cotheridge WR6 5LT, who are adjacent to Worcester Caravan Services. They might have one.

400x400 is the size of the brilliant maxxfan. And that is what I would fit.

Long time
We have replace two of our 400 roof vents over the years and have found both of them secondhand, in fact one had been taken out of a new van so was virtually brand new, neither were very dear!

We've had a Maxxfan fitted over the rear bed in our Hymer. I think that must be 400x400. Still have the old skylight. It's up in the loft. Will check tomorrow.
Great! would really appreciate that thank you

Magnums at Grimsby have a good selection of roof vents 👍
Last thing I would use are Fiamma ones as they need about 20 self tapping screws😉

Go on then, where do the 20 self tapping screws go then ?
None on the outside and just 8 to fit it from the inside. 😜

Last ones I fitted for a guy was about 3/4 years ago (he bought them) had lots of ST screws holding the roof in place. Never looked or considered them since 😉
