Windows

[Woodsmoke]

I have a 2005 fiat ducato van that was converted into a camper it has old caravan windows fitted but l am wanting to upgrade these to something a bit more modern but l am having trouble finding glass/windows van pimps and such do not do any to fit a van of this age. So any help guidance would be much appreciated.

should be a seitz window to suit

It would help knowing the cut out size of window,? and if a window can't be found, would it be possible to fit a larger window,

Hi and welcome.

I doubt it Nige, if indeed the panel van conversion was done using 2nd hand caravan windows as very few of them are to standard Seitz sizes.

It might need a partial strip out to fit new windows.

Seitz or other makers are the way to go,can be got s/hand as mine cost me £50 for two,expensive if the get broken mind you but double glass is the way,never single as water will be running down them like a river and cold also.

i should have said- the aperture would need enlarging and squaring off to suit the seitz window .
seitz window sizes are the size of the cutout needed, add another 25mm all round for outer frame size .
personally , i'd leave well enough alone ,i like caravan windows and i don't like seitz prices !

The current window is 1060 x 500 but there is room to increase the size of this.

just a quick look- hope you're loaded and sitting down https://www.dometic.com/en-gb/uk/pr...and-caravan-framed-windows/dometic-s4-_-24721
whereas caravan windows are d/glazed , top hung , just as secure and already fitted
also , to change from caravan to seitz is easy enough , it's quite a major job .
