Sliding Glass Showers Doors

I have a 2022 Dutchmen Astoria 2533RDF 5th wheel. This rig has, or had, three pane sliding shower doors. Upon returning yesterday from a venture, I found that one of the three panes of tempered glass had shattered. I cannot find a direct replacement anywhere on the web, and I also wonder if this could be a warranty issue. Has anybody else had a similar experience, or know where to find replacement doors? My understanding is that you must replace all three panes as a unit, but I'm not sure...


Personally, I believe this is a rather stupid design... Putting something this fragile in a travel trailer is ridiculous!

Provide Thor with your VIN and they should be able to provide the manufacturer and part number. Put a claim through your dealer for a replacement if under warranty. Had the same thing happen on a new Montana fifth wheel trailer in 2014 and the dealer replaced it under warranty. After that, we installed a dowl rod in the door track as a safeguard to mitigate the risk of the door moving in the event the latch was not properly locked.
