If you aren't stuck on what you have now, this one is better, IMHO

If you are seeing cracks, quit using it. I fell because mine gave way, and it only had light hazeing.

RVsurplus.net has an assortment. I got a replacement from them several years ago.

BTW, the material is acrylic. Now, I had to trim the one I got slightly, you can cut it with a saw as needed.

You can find a replacement here. Fleming Sales - Brite*Bar Grab Handles take some measurements and give them a call they can help. Mine is the model 5200 without light and chrome brackets. Not saying yours is the same but the chanches are good it is.

Fleming Sales Company, Inc.
2101 Industrial Parkway, P.O. Box 277
Elkhart, IN 46515
Phone: (574) 295-0234
Fax: (574) 522-0785

The model 5500 from RV Surplus will also work.

OP: Please note, you can buy the bar only from the above source. Cheaper than buying the whole thing. You will need to look through their site to find them.

Will the screw holes match up, and if not what do you use to fill the old
screw holes? Damn, does not sound real clean, but it is. Rivrduk

To the best of my knowledge the one from Fleming is the same and the holes match the original. I don't know about the one from RV Upgrades.
