exterior soap dispenser replacement source?

Our exterior (wet bay) soap dispenser (on our 2003 U295) isn't working like it should, and will likely need to be replaced.  A search of the forum doesn't reveal any information regarding a source for this part.  Has anyone replaced one lately, and if so, where did you find the dispenser?

Thanks in advance!

PS  Old image - before the third valve installation!  :))

I got mine at a restaurant supply company. They are quite hard to find.

I took ours out and haven't replaced it. It wasn't working all that well and was in the way when I needed to work in that area, so out it went. The outside faucet also went away because it was leaking. That may get replaced someday. I wear rubber gloves when working with the sewer hose, and take a small bottle of hand sanitizer out whenever I'm working in that area.

David... certainly disposable rubber gloves are the order of the day when working with the sewer, and even the hitching/unhitching process (thank you, Costco, for our seemingly lifetime supply! :)) ).

George may have fixed the dispenser, so we'll see how it performs for awhile.  If not, while he was working on the repair, it appears that I may have found it on my favorite shopping site... Amazon!

I found a small wire basket with auction cups on it at Target. I took the suction cups off (and saved them, of course) and just screwed it to the side wall. It is just the right size to hold a small hand soap pump dispenser bottle ready for use.  Our original dispenser fell apart after its first real winter.  I don't like leaving anything liquid in the coach over the winter that we don't have to so this is easy to put in the tub of coach stuff that comes in the the winter. Simple, easy to find and inexpensive.

I use those blue or purple nitrile gloves like they have at the Drs office.  A box of 100 at Amazon is less than $15 as I recall.

Thanks Pat,

Two clicks and I found: Amazon.com: Genuine Joe GJO02201 Stainless Steel Manual Soap Dispenser, 31.5 fl , which seems to be a pretty close replacement for the original in our 97'.

FWIW, I got a new plastic bottle (only) from foretravel.  It was OEM and am happy that they had in stock and shipped out promptly.  Yes, was a little more but I wanted to not drill any new holes (and was extremely simple fix).  CKS

FWIW, when we were at FOT in February, 2014 I inquired about the soap dispenser. They had them in stock but would only sell the entire unit.

I guess I was fortunate as they had the replacement plastic bottle only for mine.  I got mine about a year ago.  My FT is older (1996), maybe it is a little different. I think I paid about 15 for it and about 10 to ship.  I may be off a little on the exact cost.  But certainly was spot on replacement.  I like that.
