Unfortunately my front window is beyond repair so I'm looking for somewhere that manufactures the Perspex to replace it... Can anyone help ?

Assuming yours is single glazed, for the big front window it is important to get thick enough perspex. If you can find a plastic sign manufacturer in your area, they can get clear perspex in all thicknesses and can cut it to your size.
If double glazed you will need to find a secondhand replacement - I have three units, all of which are slightly different sizes.

No, it's double glazed ... If I was to change it to single, what thickness would be best for strength etc ? I'll have a measure and let you know the opening size.

To replace with single glazing, you need to get a thickness that fills the rubber seal in the aluminium surround. I'll try and measure one over the weekend.

I am fairly sure that some considerable number of years ago Harringtons were able to (and indeed did) get one specially made to replace a broken one, which I have no doubt was an insurance claim.
Harringtons are no longer trading, but the key thing is that I am sure that they outsourced the work, so presumably any large caravan may well have similar contacts. At least it is an avenue which is worth trying.
I may quite possibly have details of the original window manufacturer somewhere in my documentation, and just in case they are still trading I will have a look for it, but it is not immediately to hand, so please give me time.

Careless of me!
That should of course have read "... any large caravan dealer ..."
