I still think your best bet is to try and get something that is close to what you have, in a complete unit. Trying to get -half- of what you have will take some time (at least  ). Why not use something completely different for the moment so that it´s functional and then keep you eye out for the bits you want  |

Not the first time I´ve seen that sort of fixture. Westfalia being German and the Otten being Dutch, I would think that the spares are mainly on the continent. Westphalia Club or Otten Club. The Camping Oldies club in Germany might be able to help. I do believe there is a Dutch club for period caravans-camping. As you´ve had trouble with it, chances are that everyone else has also. So I would think it quite possible to get a new one (and while you´re at it.... get 3  )
Thought.... Put up ebay.de. Write anhanger and then the part number. Might work  |
