Review of Caravans Plus Service
Unfortunately the screw holes in the replacement fitting that I ordered were not the same as the original part. Hence money wasted.

Complete Guide to Maygood / Mobicool Windows
Article by Rob Smith - Caravans PlusRead Time: 3 mins
Contents
In recent years there has been a large increase of Caravans being produced with Maygood / Mobicool windows. These windows are nearly identical to the Dometic Seitz S4 however the parts are not interchangeable. The number one customer error we see is incorrectly identifying or assuming they have a Seitz window.
How to Identify Mobicool Windows
There are 2 easy ways to establish which type of Caravan Window you have by checking either your existing blade/glazing or your internal blind.
1) Check the top right hand corner of your window blade (when looking from the outside). In some light it may be hard to see but it will say either MOBICOOL or SEITZ / DOMETIC ( Seitz windows are now being branded as Dometic to bring in line with their new marketing campaign)
2) Check your internal blind, or more importantly the clips that connect the blind to flyscreen. The Mobicool will have black clips which a clearly branded, while the Seitz have light grey clips.
How to Determine Window Size
As with all caravans windows and doors the size is determined by the actual cut-out size. In the case of Maygood windows the overall dimensions of the external frame are 30mm larger. This means if you measure your outer frame and it is 530 x 380 you have a 500 x 350 window.
Mobicool Internal Frame Styles
There are now 3 versions of Mobicool internal frames, the original had a white flyscreen and visible mounting screw caps. The newer style has a black flyscreen with concealed fittings (no screw caps). In the most recent release (ABS) the black clip used to join flyscreen and blind together has been replaced with magnetic strips for effortless operation and a seamless finish.
The newer style internal frames are direct replacements for the original internal frames however you will need to order the concealed fittings separately.
Mobicool Spare Parts
From replacement blades, internal frames or just new struts, we have a complete range of Mobicool spare parts to help with any repairs. Unfortunately if you only require a replacement flyscreen or blind they are not available separately, they are only available as part of the internal frames. If you're not sure what part you need we also have a spare part diagram to help.

Laura - CaravansPlus
Hi Cheryl, Unfortunately they are not available separately - we are only able to source the complete internal frames (including blind and fly screen) for the Mobicool windows.

We want to find Mobicool Windows with ADR approved glass but also the blind/fly screen insert. Does that exist? Is for use in the back of Motorohome where there will be travelling passengers with seat belts.

I have a V-X/BE4. 43R-000518 Mobicool window. The external measurements are 830 x 130. Which by your explanation I have a 800 x 100 window. I need to buy the internal pull up blind and fly screen unit. Do you sell this size ?!
Roger
We have Mobicool windows (1250x525) on our Kakoda 2-Up and the problem is that the springs on the blockout blind have come undone and I can't get the little plastic ends off to re-fit the springs - they seem to be indented into the aluminium tube. I hope you can understand what I am getting at. Any suggestions?
Trish Kelly
Same problem as you, but with the flyscreen roller. Am taking mine into a caravan repairer today. How did you go? I see you didn't get a reply.
Sharon
Same as us except we managed to get the end of and have wrecked it, don't know where to get spare grommets from.
Karen
Hi Sharon, Did you have success with your flyscreen replacement? I have not yet forced the grommets off. I was hoping to just by a new roller, complete with spring. Has anyone been able to purchase the roller and spring complete.
see my reply below to mac
Pete
Hi Guys I was wondering where you can get the rubber on the external frame from. The rubber the glass comes in contact with
Pete

Mac
I have a mobicool V-X/B E4 42R000518 window in my caravan , the springs on the bottom roller have broken can I get new springs . Rgds mac
Norm
take out window frame and take out holding bracket on bottom right side facing back of frame. lift out enough of the roller to use a pair of sidecutters to prise out the rubber grommet. when spring is free from the blind mix up some araldite and smear over inside of grommet where you see the spring indetations. wind the spring fully onto grommet and coat rest of araldite over top of spring. let thoroughly set. wind dlind down to about 60mm from bottom and wind spring 27 revolutions in clockwise direction using pliers and needle nose pliers or similar. place back in groove and secure in place. Guaranteed to work as i have done this top and bottom to 3 out 5 mobicool windows. dont use the other 2
Matt
Norm you are the man, do what he says it is simple and works. Thanks Norm.
Alison
Thank you Norm we did what you said - undid the end and discovered our end had unwound off the spring - screwed back on and presto all good now
Theo
I have Mobicool blinds in my van and need to replace the block out blind. The Why do I have to purchase a whole frame including the insect and block out blinds when I only require the block out blind?
Arthur
I have replacement clips for my mobicool blinds but can't work out how to remove easily. I prised the first one out but it took ages.
Theo
To remove the spring. Remove the end spigot (not the spring side) by drilling out the indent. Remove the end using a screw driver. Purchase from Bunnings a 3/8 threaded bar about a meter length. Place this inside the tube. Hold the tube/blind and hit the threaded bar to remove the spring assembly from the tube. This will take some effort but ensure that when using the hammer do not damage the blind which is still partly in the frame. If the spring has let go from the inside cone shaped end re screw on and twitch thin wire around spring to tighten spring to cone. Reassemble spring assembly to tube by using a 50 mm thin socket spanner to fit over the shaft and the end of the socket touches the end cap and drive home. Retention the spring and reassembleto the frame. Only the Caravan industry can get away for selling such a poor designed product and the customer having to purchase a whole frame assembly.

Robert
The Mobicool screens on our new 2020 caravan are very stiff and difficult to raise and in some windows lower individually or separately, could you please advise how these may be adjusted for easier operation.
Brian
Hi Rob .one of mine is the same just received van one week prior to lock down .also one side is out of square about 5mm so makes it hard for screen and blind to meet up flat.bad for a brand new van .l will look at it tomorrow but may just take it back to manufacturer .Warranty
Annette
The little spring in the black latch handle of the Mobicool window has popped out and disappeared. Where can I get another little spring.
Peter
Hi, I have bought, from you guys, the spring loaded handle for the Mobicool blind. Can you provide advice on how to replace the handle? It looks like it should just clip out, but I don’t want to force it and risk breaking anything. The existing handle has lost the little coil spring, hence the new handle. Thanks, Peter

Lucy
Hi we have a new mobicool internal window frame ( blind) to fit in our caravan . This frame has the internal concealed clips .No matter what we do the frame will not clip in completely . As soon as we get some clips to clip in at the top for example and then try the sides the ones that were in before pop out ! What are we going wrong ?
Michelle
We have the beautiful sunlight!! ....BUT we cannot figure out how to separate the top from the bottom for installation. Where can we find an installation guide? It is a Maygood MG16SL.
