Engine Cover Seal

We have been trying to find the source of diesel smell/fumes in our 2003 Dutchstar 3802 for a long time. We have had exhaust parts replaced/repaired, replaced cargo door seals. etc etc. Today a tech with a "Sniffer" found the source-the engine access cover in the floor of the bedroom closet was leaking. The seal was allowing fumes to enter from the rear drivers side corner. I am hopeful that I can replace the seal with little difficulty and finally fix the problem. I am not actually surprised that a 16 year old coach with 115k miles could have this happen. What I need advise on is WHERE TO GET NEW SEALS. As always, really appreciate any and all help.

Not sure what your seal looks like .

My vintage DS with no bedroom slide , I used " canopy tape " from auto parts store . It's used to seal truck canopies to the top of the bed rail .

3/16" thick 2" wide , self adhesive on one side and plastic on the other.

Other shaped seals can be seen at this site ; below.

If you don't see what you need . please post a picture of what yours look like.
