    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.

    Swift bought Abbey in 1992, discontinued the brand 2008.

    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.
