There are no easy, inexpensive, exact replacements. Here's a post from last year about a company that may sell them, but wow on the price, which will likely be much more this year. Other than this, you'll need to talk with an RV dealer to get a window that will work, but it won't be like the original.

You can also try searching for caravan acrylic windows in the UK, lots of RV shops stock them. But shipping and price might not be feasible, as Merlin mentioned the cost, Europe has been using these windows in the caravan industry before they became popular here in North America.

Anyone replace the entire window with a conventional RV window ?  Not the Dometic top hinge push out windows, ( which are no longer available for the livin lite travel size).  Thank you

I would appreciate any tips or advice. Thanks.

Been told that Arctic Tern windows will work for the kitchen window on the LL campers: https://ternoverland.com/Windows

They also are expensive.

We needed to replace the glazing panel on a side window in our 14DB. The size in millimeters was 700x520. My wife and I did exhaustive searches for that size window and finally found one at Willemsen Caravan in the Netherlands. It was an exact match!  We had to pay using a money transfer, which  I had done at my bank. The shipping and customs amounted to around $460, but it was by far the cheapest and best alternative. Willemsen was a great company to deal with. We only corresponded through email, and with the approx 6hr time differences most correspondence came to me in the wee hours.

DHL was the carrie/shipper.I had a wonderful experience with them as well. They picked up the window at Willemsen. It was transported to the Heathrow Airport in the UK, and the customs were all paid from the shipping fee I paid to Willemsen with my money transfer. I recieved updates by email from DHL until the window eventually arrived at my door. The window was securely packed and arrived undamaged.(It took about a week for the shipment to clear customs.)

We ordered new stays and handles, which I  strongly advise. Note that they do not include the screws, so be sure to save and reuse your old ones, or order the screws in addition to the other components.

We couldn't be more pleased.

I forgot to mention the price of the glazing panel we ordered from Willemsen Caravan in the Netherlands. The 700x520mm glazing panel article number (DOC5700520906228) was approximately $697 US dollars.
The 2 stays and handles were approximately $65 US dollars.
The shipping and customs was $460 US dollars.

The total bill was $1221.33 US dollars.

The money transfer done at my bank took care of the conversion of US dollars to Euros. I did pay a fee for the money transfer.

Thanks so much for the info! That will help many others who lose one.
