A caravan breaker’s yard will frequently have that hard to source spare part for an older RV or caravan as well as spare parts for modern caravans. Buying from a breakers yard will save you money. Good breakers yards will advice you on how to remove the old spare and install the spare they have sold you.

Caravan breakers will usually have a good selection of spares including bathroom and kitchen fittings, door and window fittings, lighting and electricals, mirrors, cupboard doors plus much, much more. Most also stock second hand accessories like water carriers, awnings, cutlery etc.. If you are looking for a specific spare part, it is just a question of sourcing the camper van breaker’s yard with that part in stock – you may have to ring a few before you source it. The majority of RV junk yards will offer a postal service if they are not in your local area.

Owners clubs are a good source of information they can help you to locate parts for older RVs or caravans. Most caravan or RV models age and wear the same way, so the same spares wear out. Owners clubs are familiar with the problems of each model in the makers range. Advice or help from experienced owner club members can save you time and money. They will usually advise on the best way to fit the spare as well.

If you are looking for a recreational vehicle spare part or even a used camper van try www.freecycle.org. Freecycle website members can post items they would like or items they wish to pass on, all at no cost. If you still cannot locate the part you want try getting a bespoke spare made or have an existing similar part adapted.

By contacting manufacturer direct, you will often source the part you need. Most stock a wide range of parts for their older models. Those that do not have stock will give you a list of local dealers for you to contact who may have the part you are looking for in their stock room.
