Side/Rearview Mirrors

I just got a report that a contruction truck knocked off one of the side mirrors.  And let the caretaker know about it!  I found a post that lists Ramco as the mirror source but I haven't been able to find a model number.  Does anyone know what that might be?  The coach is 350 miles away so I can't get dimensions and the company is wanting a price for a replacement.

I plan on replacing the other at the same time, as they have quite a bit of pitting on the finish and so they don't need to be exactly like the existing, I am more concerned about bolt holes, electric adjustment function, and size.

Think I would keep the part that bolts to the coach and the arm also and just get the mirror part,try calling Foretravel.

I have problems 35 feet away. Sorry to hear this. My first thought was mount structure damage. May be wise to get a estimate just in case.

I thought all the 90's model Foretravel coaches came with the 6000 Series Ramco mirrors.  Of course, I could be wrong.

The mirrors in the photos in the link below ('97 U320 being parted out) look exactly like the mirrors on our '93 U280 (6000 Series + Optional TopHats).

Maybe the top hat is optional as my '99 doesn't have it.

Chuck I think you're right. When I was trying to source one after a shop knocked my tophat off, I called ramco and told the guy what coach I had and he just needed to know what finish the mirrors had and if they were heated or not, otherwise he knew exactly what mirror it was.

Foretravel had a top hat in stock when I needed one last year.
