Title: 1995 U240 parts
Post by: Cpt_kludge on October 15, 2024, 01:58:35 am
I need a sewer/ Electrical door 48' X 19.5" and a pass side Ramco mirror head
Got too close to a yellow pillar and had a try to crowd me as I came down the grapevine
I assume his mirror was worse:)
Thanks in advance:)

Finding a replacement door is like hunting chicken teeth. It don't look that bad so your best bet is to take it to a boat shop (with you out west) and having them fix it.  Now the mirror start at Ramco as they may have one in stock and are good to holp out. You may be able to find one at one of the RV wrecking yards.

Good advice.

Xteme in Nacogdoches can probably fix or make a new door.

I would also call FOT and see if they can make a new door.

From the picture, I would think the door just needs some work, not a new door. I would think just about any good fiberglass shop could fix that.

unless there's more damage we can't see, that door is easy to fix with the visible scrape.
Almost any boat repair or mobile fiberglass tech should be able to do that.
For the mirror, I would begin with the RV wreckers for parts here's a few links to try...

Another option re the mirror:  I needed the same thing (in chrome) for my SOB gasser and got excellent service from Ramco.  They sold me a "blem" and I could not find a blemish on it anywhere; and, they gave me some guidance on how to replace just the top part of the mirror glass as the convex part with cameras was unharmed.  Butt splicing all those itty bitty wires was a chore but it all worked out.  The number I have for them is: (574) 266-1455.  Good luck with the repair and safe travels to ya.

I have the same coach, with the same color and design of decals.  I am like the others, boat repair shop can fix with no problems except for the decals.  Only fix for decals is painted on.  On the mirror I had to spring for a new set when I go to close to a truck mirror.

Thanks, I plan on getting it repaired then taking it to Mexico to get a total repaint.
There used to be Painter., Antoinio, I think. that I would like to get in touch with.
Not enthused about going to Mexico, but have never been, so I dont know much about it.
Or anyone that does a full paint on the coach.

I went to Puerto Peñasco Mexico to have my decales removed and painted on.  You can find Antonio's info on this website, just  search for Puerto Peñasco.  He did my decals like yours in his back yard, took him one month.  He also painted a mural on the rear cap.  I am very happy with his work.119558669_682555469018381_8457370110114175414_n.jpgmural.jpg119558669_682555469018381_8457370110114175414_n.jpg

HI Joe,
  It has been 4-5 years ago when I had the painting done.  Antonio saved me some money by doing the job in his back yard.  Mine is decals not full body.  At that time the cost was about 1/5 of what Extreme in Nacogdoches, TX was.  You do also have the expense of taking MH and tow to PP, either stay there or come home in tow, return and drive MH and tow back home.  Very good deal.  I would not go down now/again.

Pat,
I have never been to Mexico. Why not now? The cartels/violence in Mx?

A gentle reminder - geopolitical discussions are beyond the scope of this forum and will be removed.

I have had to remove one response already.
