The plastic cover on the side of the van, that hides the water pipes when in transit has broken. It now just flaps around and won't stay shut.

It doesn't look very good held shut with duct tape

Does anyone know whether replacement covers are easy to source. The actual water pump etc works fine, so I don't need to replace the whole thing.

Van is an old Swift Coronette.

I expect dealers will have covers for sale.

I had a similar problem years ago with an EHU cover and had no problem getting one from my local dealer.

If not try a caravan scrap yard.

Our local caravan dealer stocks them for both whale and truma. I think they are about £6.
