Campervan spare parts in the Canary Islands: the fix nobody tells you about
Broken, discontinued campervan or motorhome part? In the Canaries, 3D printing remakes it in days: skylight clips, handles, brackets. With real prices.
The skylight handle snaps. You search for the spare: discontinued. You find it on a German website: €14 for the part, €35 shipping to the Canaries, three weeks of waiting plus customs paperwork. Meanwhile, your van’s skylight is held shut with a zip tie.
If you run a campervan or motorhome on the islands, you know this story. There’s another way to end it.
Why campervan parts are the perfect 3D printing case
- They’re mostly plastic: clips, brackets, handles, trims, covers.
- They’re discontinued: manufacturers (Dometic, Fiamma, Thule, Reimo…) refresh their catalogues every few years and old parts vanish.
- Shipping to the Canaries is torture: customs, DUA paperwork, IGIC and weeks of waiting for a €10 part.
- They almost always break in the same spot — and a remanufactured part can be reinforced exactly there.

Will it survive the Canarian sun?
That’s the key question, and the answer is: it depends on the material — which is why we advise you. For exterior parts we use ASA, the plastic used for outdoor signage and housings: UV-stable, doesn’t yellow or turn brittle. For interiors, PETG or PLA depending on the part. The remade part often outlasts the original, because we reinforce the exact spot where it failed.
How to order your spare from any island
- Photos of the broken part (all sides) with a ruler or coin for scale.
- Main measurements, as precise as you can.
- Where it mounts and what load it takes (weight, wind, vibration).
