over 5000 windows
http://www.caravanbreakers.net/
if you can not find one the other option is to have one made.not cheap.i had three made by them but found the drop of the window had been reduced by a quarter of one inch.just meant raising the catches.it does mean you will need to send the window away to be copied.for the estimate the measurement is the opening in the van not the window.

Do you mean it has actually cracked or just that the 2 halves of the window have separated? This fairly common on old caravans. Use a clear glue like Bostick to glue the 2 halves together again.
I would have thought you could glue it ok even if it is cracked. On an old caravan, all that matters is that it works. A replacement window will probably cost as much as the caravan is worth.

If its still a functioning window and as tentz says its just come apart, it probably would be better just to re glue it and make it water tight, if you can find a window it might be quite dear, if you have to get one made, it will be near the price you paid.
Good luck whatever you decide :)

What about some of that silicon sealant used for aquariums- that's well waterproof.

could glue it with araldite as it sets clear-and hard-use a thin bead might need clamping while it sets.

Araldite is an epoxy resin and none of them are UV proof. Over time this will weaken and discolour - going a gungy brown colour. To avoid this it needs to be overpainted with something UV proof. (We have a yacht and have first hand experience of this).
I think I would go with the aquarium stuff.

Topic: and it went pop!
we though if we drill a hole at bottom of window put hoover end over it suck them out then silicone the hole but to our cost (never underestimate the power of dyson)the window cracked!!!along top edge. So after the long story does anybody know where I could buy a new front window? have tried ebay, looking at salvage yards or could I fix it? currently has good old gaffa tape on.
