I recall finding a link either in this forum or in one of the other Expedition Camper ones for a European company making camper doors, side hatches and roof hatches out of 50mm composite panels (grp on the outside and foam in the middle). But I can't find it now. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

It's not mentionned on their website anymore, but just ask and they will make it. They've build our cabine.

Ha! - These were the guys I was thinking about. Ouch! on the cost though.

They certainly look like very good quality windows etc. Wish I'd known about them before I fitted my Dometic/Seitz ones.

I was thinking of replacing my Sietz ones with glass ones - I did find someone who was willing to make direct replacement windows for the Seitz ones but they seem to have gone out of business. I'd love to get some photos of the window and all of it's components and see what goes into making them.

One nice thing about these guys is they can key all locks to one master key.

Any good locksmith could do the same, all of my external locker locks use one key.

Seems like a pretty simple construction, if you can get the parts.
I'm still on the hunt for a version that has external shutters, preferzbly metallic. My camper body will be 2.6m wide and I'll be pushing through forest roads from time to time. I wouldn't like to have to worry about broken branches scratching or breaking an exposed window.
With shutters you get an extra stealth factor too.
Anyone know where these handles come from?

Take a look at page 15 of the KCT catalogue. They have an aluminum cover that can be quickly installed on their windows to act as the external shutter you desire.
