Anybody with a Swift Archway Royale 550 / Abbey Vogue GTS 418 / Swift Challenger 550? Year 2003

[MrsJaye]

Hi
As per the title....we have a Swift Archway Royale 550, (same as Abbey Vogue GTS 418) travelling back from the F1 yesterday, we thought we saw something come off of the van so pulled over but couldn't see anything missing.....until we got home and realised that the middle front window has separated and the outer part is missing! I am trying to source a second hand window but as the outer is missing, I cannot get the exact dimensions. Does anyone have the same van or the Swift Challenger 550 may be the same - that would be kind enough to measure the front middle window for me? Thanks so much.

You could google vans of that type for sale and cheekily contact the vendor! You would need to specify the year to ensure it was identical spec and then goggling replacement windows for caravans will bring up several breakers who may have stock for you - but as you surmised they will want to know the metric size and any hue - although an exact colour match may not be possible depending on the age of the van.

Thanks for your reply. I have found one for sale at a dealers so have asked if they could measure the window....worth a shot! I have also discovered that the Archway is a dealer special and the same as the Abbey Vogue GTS 418 so hopefully that will help in my search for the window. I have had a quote of around £450 for a new window to be made if I cannot find anything second hand. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply.

Hi there I think the Archway was a special made for WhiteArches in Wellingborough.

Thanks, that's really helpful. I'm trying to find my window size and then hopefully I can source a replacement. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Thanks, I think it was. I have googled and it seems it is the same as the Abbey GTS 418. I am trying to get someone with one to sell to measure the window, big ask though 😊. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
