I have an Abbey GTS 215 Vogue 1996. We are renovating it to go travelling and it really needs a new set of front windows. Have been searching the internet and breakers for about 3 months now and everything seems to be too small. Did these vans have unusually large front windows???
Does anyone know of a window set that has come off another GTS 215 1996? Or can anyone help with where you get a front set of windows with measurements 905mm x 975mm (front centre), 460mm x 880mm longest side x 845mm shortest side (front left and right)?
Or, does anyone have ideas or advice about alternative ways to replace caravan windows?
Any help appreciated. ☺

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

I don't know what area you are in but Essex Caravan Breakers often have loads of windows of all sorts.

It would help others to help you if you put an area in your profile under "location".

Hi,
The comapany link below might be useful, first shows how to measure and choose windows.
They do stock a lot of windows and do mail order.
Good luck.

Greg

Just had an email from Brookside Caravans near Derby. They break caravans and have loads of windows. I bought an awning from them once, and I found them very friendly and helpful.

You beat me to posting these guys.

We've used them to 'copy' one of our windows, when it got smashed by a flying awning pole...

Found them cheaper than buying a new window. But maybe that's because our van is a Knaus....
