Newmar can probably get a new piece (for a price) but would check with a windshield replacement shop or a large truck repair shop

No matter where you purchase the mirror, it will be fastened via two way tape.

We lost one of those mirrors also on our 98 DSDP. The mirrors are made by:

RAMCO ENGINEERING - REAR VIEW MIRRORS FOR THE RIG.
52965 Frederic Drive • Elkhart, IN 46514
800-321-4819 • (574) 266-1455 • Fax (574) 266-1420

AMY DEAN in Parts.
MODEL #: 7000 SERIES
Lower Mirror replacement kit: P/N SNP-GL5652WS-KI received 7-29-2008; installed - .
Mirror sizes: Housing – 8 ½” W x 12 ¾” H
Top Mirror – 8” W x 7 ¾” H
Bottom Mirror – 8” W x 4 ⅛” H

Replacements are not that expensive - we bought 2 - 1 for the replacement and 1 for the spare. Amy Dean was great and shipped them out right away.

Hope this helps with your problem.

The mirror just sticks on with glue so it's easy to replace.

You can get one at most any Automotive Glass Shop, they will have to order it after taking measurements of the mate on the other side, but they can get it for you.

Tell then if you can use a clamp-on spot mirror from any auto/truck parts place Should only take a couple of days though.
