Thumbs up Found My "Hard To Find" Parts

One of my motorhome’s factory fog lights broke last year. My Providence is 13 years old, so I knew it would be difficult to locate an OE replacement. To make matters worse, the factory fender cut-out as well as the lights themselves are a cats eye shape.

It was no surprise when my Fleetwood dealer said they were no longer available. I searched the Internet high and low and could find nothing that would fit the cats eye opening without looking out of place.

Several months ago, I came across an ad in one of my RV magazines (I don’t recall which one) for Veurink’s RV. The ad stated that they stock many discontinued Fleetwood parts. I sent them an email asking if they had my lights. They wrote back and asked for a photo of the light, along with my VIN and/or Fleetwood ID number. After sending it to them, I was elated when they said they had them in stock. I ordered two lights since my lights looked aged, and they were indeed direct OE replacements.

Last week, I noticed that one of my surface mounted rear fender marker/ turn signal lights was cracked.

Once again, I searched the Internet high and low, just to find that the company that manufactured the lights went out of business. I located several lights that were the same size, but they were not surface mounted, so they would have required me to cut openings in the rear motorhome fenders - not something I wanted to do. I contacted Veurink’s again, and once again they had them.

If you own an older or discontinued Fleetwood, I highly suggest you make note of Veurink’s. They saved me a major headache. Some of you may have heard of them already, but they were new to me.

Happy travels!

That's awesome!!

I finally found an ice bucket for my fridge. It seemed a shame to have an ice maker that works and no bucket.

Many OE's use Hella lights.

Both of those lights are very similar to mine. Good price from Eagle Eye. Wish I had seen them when I was doing my search...
