Hi all, while working on the coach the past couple of days and getting all the exterior lighting to work, I noticed a couple of parts missing. On the rear passenger side, the chrome end to the side moulding, the roof antenna is gone, looks like the mount is still there and the cable is still inside the radio compartment. I'm also missing one of the rear chrome outer wheel dust caps. Some of the black vinyl insert for the side mouldings is also missing. Anyone know of a donor coach or where I might find one or part numbers? I'm also looking for a dash front face that has the lighting with the connector attached where the bulb is housed or the fabric with the filaments in it connected to the bulb housing, mine was either broken or chewed off at the connector or if anyone has repaired one I would appreciate the knowledge..C Bryan thinks he may have the black plastic for the mouldings and maybe the chrome end caps. My light cover on the speaker housing above driver side is also broken as well as 2 of the double light covers and one single light cover in the living area (just thought I'd throw that in)..Thanks, Glenn

Glenn,
The light cover for the lights above the cockpit Should available at your local FLAPS. They are carried in the HELP! section (red packaging, lots of things like window handles and steering couplers) for not much money.
The local camping world sold replacement lenses for my cabin under counter lights, but I have a Coachmen finished coach - I'm not sure if there is a difference.
If you are referring to the dash backlighting to the switches, I think that is one of those things that does not survive old age and previous owners. Someone here came up with a modern replacement and it is sold by JimK.
I hope that helps.
76 Birchaven - "Wicked Mistress" - New engine, trans, alum radiator, brakes, Sully airbags, fuel lines, seats, adult beverage center... those Coachmen guys were really thinking about us second hand owners by including that beverage center...

Thanks Joe, I think I can order the covers for the under cabinet lights, but will probably replace the lighting as it will probably cost about the same...lol..After other replies about the dash backlighting I will probably upgrade to led for just a fraction of the cost of replacing the original and it will be cooler and look nicer. These old coaches need a lot of TLC and since they were a one of a kind then the parts are unique. I don't know what I'll do with all my spare time when I get her all done..but I don't think we'll ever get to that point.lol.Glenn
