They dont do one for my Size. I have made two but the back one is too big for a DIY job.

So, I have found one in UK Seitz S4 buts its £825-£1100. I have found one in Spain £650. But they dont ship to UK

I can get it shipped to our house in Spain, but need it sooner. So shipping to friends in Germany if they cannot find one their cheaper.

What Make are your original windows and what did they supply ?

Our Birkholtz, you have to lift the window right up (best with two people) then the window will unhinge.

Detach stays and open window up past 90 degrees then tap/push upwards near the hinge. With a helper holding it open it is still a tricky job. Putting new one in is straightforward and again easy with a helper.

What ridiculously high prices! 😱
Because it has that magical word before it. .....MOTORHOME.
They can then charge what they want.
I would think their thinking is....if you can afford 10s of thousands for a motorhome you can pay 10s of hundreds for spare parts and accessories

I’m sure that is the thinking.
