    You check under ABI, I'm not certain if they're versions of the same brand. ABI are in Beverley in Yorkshire (out the road from Hull), but as far as I can see they've gone into mobile homes and out of caravans.

    Are you after parts?, most stuff is probably generic.

    Many thanks for the replies, much appreciated.
    I had thought they were gone as i could not find any trace of them.
    Yes i am looking for parts, a rooflight in particular a 400mm by 400mm white plastic one from the centre of the caravan.

    It looks like a generic rooflight, the attached photo shows the other ones that are adjacent (these are over the wc/shower but are smaller) the rooflight i am looking for is a 400mm by 400mm version of this.

    Anyway some very nice people broke into our caravan, damaging the door in the process and then kindly removed a rooflight dome leaving all open to the elements, very nice of them. So as a result of that act of generosity i know have to buy a new rooflight dome and i am wondering if this type of dome is a standard type?
    I rang a few of the caravan dealers in Ireland and they say it might be a generic one, see i dont want to buy one on line and find it wrong, them have the hassle and cost of sending it back.

    Any help or advice appreciated.
