Close to Charlotte, NC would be great, or close by so shipping wont be so much.

Few parts as of now are:

propane and generator access doors. My are cracked and need repair

screens

engine hatch. mine is plywood would like aluminum

bumpers front and rear

black water tank. mine is cracked

window latches. just a couple

16" rims

refrigerator. propane/elect

maybe more later

Thanks!

Did you know that about half the readers don't read the forum? They get it as e-mails or a digest, but those poor souls don't get the swap section

My responses to what you are looking to acquire.

propane and generator access doors. My are cracked and need repair - These are difficult to come by, but very easily repaired with epoxy and fiberglass.

screens - You need to be clear about what windows and for a 75 26'

engine hatch. mine is plywood would like aluminum - The OE are all plywood. Aluminum would be like a drum head - sound wise.

bumpers front and rear - You have a chance. If all you are looking for is good chrome, you might contact JimK.

black water tank. mine is cracked - These can be repaired.

window latches. just a couple - Scarce as hens teeth, but it is worthwhile to ask around

16" rims - If you want(can afford) alloy, talk to JimK. If you want steel, you can try to find used, check them for true and send them to a shop for blast and powder coat (mine ended up costing ~85$ ea when done) or (try to) order them new from Southwest wheel (~120$ea + shipping)

refrigerator. propane/elect - Not much chance on the used market. If you have one that does not work, you can get a new cooling unit for it for about half the price of new.

maybe more later - I hope they aren't big...

Thanks!
- Any time

Check with Chuck Boyd of the Dixielanders. He is in Knoxville and may have all of these things.
