After a thorough spring clean and polish I am looking for advice on removing the awning light which has green mould on the inside. There are no visible fixing screws on the outside, and the inside has the Truma CP Plus timer control panel fitted. There is no information in the owner manual. Any advice please. Caravan is 2014 Swift Challenger 564 Sport

    I've got a similar problem with my Lunar.  One of the bulbs has gone and I'm afraid that my attempts to remove the cover are going to end up with it cracking.  My local workshop says wait until the other bulb goes and then we'll get it off and replace both bulbs and possibly cover if it cracks.

    I think they are "stuck" on with adhesive and need the adhesive to be cut through to removesurprised

    I think that you may need to exploring the back of your light from inside the van. We’ve certainly had lights with no front fixings, everything being attached from the rear.

    I replaced one of those long awning led strip lights on our last caravan a 2010 swift 535 Charisma as some of the LEDs were not working and it was a bit of a job removing the light as it was as JV6BB said  stuck on, to get to the wiring I had to remove the control panel and pull apart the pair of spade connectors. we now have a 2015 514 challenger sport I was hoping the awning light would be easier to work on but it don't sound like it yell also when I removed the control panel it was interesting to see a little  bracket swinging freely that had never been fitted correctly and of course could never be now

    That was the case with my Luna Delta ... just a standard single filament bulb
