I need any help anyone can give me, bought 2005 Fiat 5 birth, only 8500miles, wanted to help my daughter with her children, one of which is physically and mentally handicapped, but she says it's too much for her, unfortunately myself and my partner both work odd days and hours so we have not been able to use the van as we had first thought. It now needs MOT'd and with the storm it now needs a window which I cannot seem to be able to source, can anyone help me, please

We would need a bit more info, in order to give you any kind of accurate hell and advise, Fiat is the driving bit of your van, but who built the motorhome part?
So.
The make model of the motorhome.
The chassis number and the manufacturer model and number.
Window or Skylight
Which window exactly, make and number if you can see it, ( look at the corners on the perspex/glass it's usually where they stamp the make, number and size.)
Measurement, outside width/height.
Where are you just county ( no point in sending you to West Cork if your in Donegal)
I'm also thinking that you may want to sell it on?

As Sprinter says plenty more info required to help you, then the power of MHC will be unleashed to help locate a window.

With those measurements that will be a habitation window by whoever built the Motorhome , not a Fiat as that will only be the vehicle that it was built on as has already been explained here.
How about a photo which will explain many things that will get answered here quite quickly?

If it's a coachbuilt van then it must have decals that you can read?

However if what I am suspecting it's a self build then you have nothing to go on other than it being Fiat?

The mileage seems very low for the age of the van , is it a self build or is there a brand name on it?
