Besides the actual body parts most parts are manufactured by third parties and Alfa just assembled them. Those parts can usually be found pretty easily as multiple manufacturers used the same parts. For example the axles might be dexter axles and there are multiple suppliers that carry parts (brakes, bearings, etc) for those axles RV components like the fridge, water heater, etc are common across multiple types of RVs (5th wheel, Motorhomes, etc) and not built for a specific 5th wheel brand. So it usually helps to search for the brand and model of the component over the brand of the 5th wheel.

Yes Mike, you are very correct, I should have clarified that I am looking for part that are specifically relating to the ALFA part of the RV. For example, my shash windows have NO meeting rail currently, just a glass pane. So it's really hard to get leverage to lift lower pane and when you finally succeed there is no way to prevent it to fall back down (keeping it up requires the hardware). Likewise they cannot be locked (someone could get inside)

I have spent HOURS calling everywhere trying to locate ANYONE who sells ANY meeting rail hardware, but so far NOTHING.
Does anyone have leads for meeting rails and sash locks combos?
