Looking for replacement mirror for AutoTrail Delaware 2012

[Dogsense]

Advice Please.
My Motorhome, AutoTrail Delaware 2012, the bathroom mirror (with build-in lights) have been cracked ( probably due to Greece bad roads).
AutoTrail said that this mirror is discontinued.
Any advice please for where to look/get a replace mirror?

Many Thanks.

Depends if you really need one with lights built in.
If you dont then any good glazing company will make one to size and put the mounting holes in the same places. and a fraction of the Autotrail prices..

May also be worth taking the mirror out and check for any labels as it might give a clue to the manufacturer.

I had the same problem. My solution was to buy a battery operated 12v dc mirror with built in lights. Plenty of them about, but size is the issue. I found this one after a lot of internet searching. We have an Autotrail Apache 632 2013 vintage and your mirror looks to be about the same size, 500x700mm
So how to fit it? This mirror comes with key hole slots at the top corners, I made some really accurate measurements so that the screws I put into the wall would line up exactly with the keyhole slots. Next i removed the lid from the battery box on the back of the mirror and soldered the switch wiring from the switch to the +ve and -ve sides of the battery box. Make sure that the SWITCHED wire is soldered to the +ve terminal and the UNSWITCHED is soldered to the -ve terminal. Test it before you move to the next stage!
After soldering and testing I stuck a piece of the Scotch double sided tape to the bottom of the mirror, leaving a tag of the backing material hanging below the mirror so I could pull it off and allow the mirror to stick to the wall. Even doing this it took two attempts to get the mirror straight, I had to use a really long sharp knife slid up the back of the mirror to cut it off the first time because it was squint!
Make sure to leave the switch that’s on the mirror in the “on” position because it’s a bugger to get at when the mirror is stuck to the wall!
It works beautifully, and looks like original equipment. It’s also survived a lot of bouncing about!
Top tip… put a couple of bits of the scotch tape on the wiring behind the mirror so it doesn’t move about and disconnect from your soldering.
PM me if you want fitting tips.

Cheers!

I have been thinking about how I wired this up, you could probably take the battery box to bits to get at the wiring and use crimp connectors or connector block if you don’t have, or aren’t handy, with a soldering iron.

Have Fun!

All good suggestions about. Looks like it cracked due to a stress point on the mounting screw. Not seen a mirror mounted with screws in a Motorhome before. Normally stuck on as RustyRuss suggests.

I broke ours by tightening up one of the mounting screws. Another truly crap idea from Autotrail!!

I need the lights, no other lights in this bathroom/toilet.

I am in Greece, local friend took me to glass/mirrors factory. One hour work and they replace the broken mirror with a New one (used the old lights) total cost €84.82 including VAR (I could pay €70 if I had cash).
Great Job.
