Thats the sensible way to do it Eddie.Well! On the way to the February NEC show, Lyn my wife was driving our camper and I was driving the Van Bitz exhibition unit. A stone flew up and chipped the windscreen on the camper. The chip rapidly went to a crack. The screen should be being replaced, finally in a couple of weeks at a cost of £9,200.00 Our insurance excess is £1000
As for the blown side window, our friends camper was a couple of months out of warranty and the drivers side double glazed unit has condensation in, in exactly the wrong place, as it was in the line of vision to look in the "wing" mirror. A replacement was a pi55 take price wise (Top Trade Tip here:- When the price is a pi55 take, it normally means that the dealer can't be arsed or doesn't know what to do)
The window was removed, and heavy duty plastic and gaffa tape made the aperture waterproof. The double glazed unit was removed from the frame very easily on laying flat on a table. The double glazed unit was taken to a local double glazing company, who kept it overnight and it was collected the next day, having been spilt, cleaned and re-sealed for the Princely sum of £25
Re assembling was a doddle and nearly a Grand was saved!
I ran about for a couple of weeks with a bit of cut to shape perspex in the hole while new ones were made to replace the broken one still less that £100 though.
