Hi I have got a swift rapide 490 GLX 1995 model caravan. Unfortunately the bathroom tap has cracked therefore needs replacing, however I have no idea which taps to get apart from knowing I need the make Whale.Does anyone know how I can find out? a product code or similar would be useful, but can't find anything on the taps to tell me! Hope someone can help!

Fiona.........It really depends on which part of the tap is actually cracked. Is it the tap that you turn on or is it the spout that the water comes out of. We had the spout crack on ours last year due to water still in the spout, it froze and cracked it. If you go onto ebay, do a search for Whale taps you'll probably see which one is yours. There has been a few variations over the years.
Hi It is cracked down the seam on the spout that the water comes out of, like u it froze in the spout on our way home from Derbyshire in Nov therfore needs replacing. I searched for whale taps on google. It is the one where the sout is pulled up to turn into a shower.

Yes, that's the same one as ours by the sound of it. Cracked due to frozen water. The spout unscrews from the pipe and the new one screws back on. Some were beige some were white. This is ours, yours is probably the same
The price on that one is a bit steep. I think we paid about half that last year. Shop around. Your nearest dealer will probably have them as well. Take the old one to show them.
Hi Thanks for your help, will have to study it more closely and like u say take the necessary parts with us to get the same.It's so hard when you are new to caravans and all that goes with them! having learn't from the frozen spout, we will not do it again!! Thanks again, Happy vanning!
