2008 Dolphin front cab

[azbozin]

Help, We were involved in a accident and the rt front end of our Dolphin was hit. I need a new front cap plus lights etc. The body shop that has it motor home cannot find any parts. They have called Monaco, and were told they do not have any molds or parts.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I am steaming mad that they may have to manufacture just a front section, when the whole cap should be replaced. National must have some parts or molds left.
Please help
Thanks

Try one of these numbers, these are off the list of suppliers for National. Like you, I had thought that Monaco purchased the molds. Someone had to. I understand that some of the National Techs went to work for Monaco, perhaps they could lead you to the Cap Mold. Good luck. Although your m/h is a 2008, have you tried looking for one in an RV wrecking yard with a good front cap?

If you are anywher close to SoCal, I would highly suggest you contact The Paint Departmentin Chino, CA. The repairs can probably be made without changing the front cap.

Thank you all so much. My repair shop was able to locate all the needed parts. Ortega had the parts and is shipping them today. Again, thank you
