We own a 2014 model with a one piece front window, A crack has appeared in the window and appears to be increasing in size. I believe it is a stress crack & wonder if anybody else has experienced this, particularly as I notice that the new models have reverted
to  3 part front windows.

I am pursuing a warranty claim but evidence of other incidents may be useful

    2006 Sprite Alpine 4, I thought it was road debris or something falling off a HGV carrying rubble which I passed. Claimed off my caravan insurance, around a £1,000 to replace!!

    Looks similar to mine. Unforrtunately I have a feeling that I may be taking the insurance claim route!

    Thanks for your response

    I have a window like that on our Sprite, maybe those that put on those front covers aren't so daft after all

    Reminds me of our first trip to France in the early 80's.  Mum and Dad had an Ace Ambassador with Glass windows.  I recall  Dad asking me to look at the caravan window as he thought it was damaged and sure enough there was a very large whole right in the
    middle of the screen.  Somehow we managed to get into a Municiple Site on our way to Carnac for the night and the next morning we had to go to a back street garage and they fitted the thickest piece of plexiglass Dad had ever seen.
