Silicone spray is quite a good remover. Also effective on tar spots.

Most upvc spirit cleaners will soften plastic products if not wiped off immediatly, personnaly I wouldnt use it on a caravan window. I think I would use a tissue damped with white spirit.

WD40 on a rag or some car polish on a rag should remove it.

I used to have a sweet shop. To remove resididue of glue from sweet jars (plastic and glass). I used cooking oil. Apply liberaly leave to soak then wash off with warm soapy water. In your van you will need to protect walls and cushions from oil spots.
