Just noticed that all four of the double skinned windows on our 2015 Exsis have developed small cracks that seem to be fanning out from under the hinge cover along the top on the outside skin, as always the warranty has just run out so probably gonna have to pay for repairs.
Anyone else had a similar problem and where did you source new windows(won’t need frames)
Any suggestions appreciated thanks in advance.(y)

Hi everyone just an update Hymer havesaid even though six months out of warranty I am going to have to foot the bill £1640, and to rub salt into it the Truma heater has stopped working have done all the checks but no solution found so will be another expense.

Sorry to hear this @Speve . Glad to see you're being philosophical about it. Still a bitter pill to swallow, but at least, you get a lot of use out of your van. :)

Thanks@bellabee yes we do use it a lot and love it now we’ve made it ours the only saving grace is that the German dealer has given us a reasonable price to do the work and since we are in Spain at present we will detour to Germany on our way home to get it sorted so gives another destination to see.
It’s no good to whinge as the money we saved importing it is more than enough to cover the bill(y)(y)(y)

Yes, that's what we did last year. Went to Bad Waldsee on the way back from Spain. It was a lovely trip - maybe even the highlight of the entire winter trip.
We're bound for Spain/Portugal next week. May bump into you again. :D

Would they not even offer a contribution to the cost?

No not an offer, only the dealer Ulrich Durrwang who has given us I think a fair price to do the work.
Dometic just said tough it’s out of warranty and referred me to one of their retailers.

Motor homing since 1998.
Am having the same problem with my 584. £ 477 for the window but I tried a claim with my insurance. Phoned yesterday to be told a cheque was in the post. Full price less the VAT.
Worth a try. Good luck.

We're planning to be at El Rocio in a couple of weeks' time. I'm guessing you'll have left by then.
