I had a tree fall and catch the engine compartment door and push the foot rest down a couple of inches on our 1993 U300. No damage to the ladder or to much of anything else. Have checked wrecking yards across the country but no luck. Any leads will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Pierce,
Gotta say I am a little confused by the foot rest at the rear engine door as my setup does not have a foot rest, so have to assume another design for the U300 series.
What I was going to suggest was save the pieces and have either a local fiberglass shop rebuilt it of if you ever get to Xtreme, they do the most amazing repairs you could guess, Rance is amazing.
Just a thought as they redid my rear door, made into a hindged affair and I love it.

Dave,
I have a relatively small louvered aluminum door and the small step sticks out about half way up the rear bumper. Used to step on so you can reach the ladder with your next foot.
I could make a door but can't find the curved aluminum stock. Just a matter of band saw and pop rivets after that.

Yup, forgot the small aluminum door, forget the fiberglass ideas ;D
@Pierce you might try calling Justin (Biscuit) at FOT paint. When we where last there was having some touch up done on my paint. Noticed one of my louvers was bent. Justin said they could just trade it out. One of his techs ended up just bending it back without having to remove it. So didn't have it replaced but sounded like they where available per Justin.
see ya

Pierce,
Can you send us some pics of the damage? I have a friend who is the foremen of a big truck body shop here who did the rear bulkhead repair for my coach and maybe he can suggest something.
