Lucky escape indeed! Good chance that with it's rim integrity compromised it would continue to crack and break up!
Chances are it's an Alko chassis (looks like you have the lock receiver showing through the wheel in photo), which AFAIK doesn't vary from one caravan manufacturer to the next, so almost any old caravan wheel(s) should fit if the right tyre/rim size and 5 bolt! DON'T go for car wheels, firstly your caravan loading may be too high for them (car of similar weight is spread over 4 wheels, caravan is only on two, therefore twice the loading!), all other things being equal, hub offset is often different so tyre/wheel may foul.
Breakers is obvious choice to get a matching wheel, but a matched pair from different van may be easier to obtain, ensure you get the matching wheel bolts, the conical seat does vary on some, and the wrong bolts can damage wheel or not seat correctly and work loose on the road. The wheels and bolts are NOT Alko parts, they are sourced from elsewhere by the caravan manufacturers.
Unless you know you've clunked the rim to initiate the failure, I'd be wary of the other wheel just in case there's a design/manufacturing fault!
