Source for a W 16 radiator

I have a 2006 Fleetwood W 16 with a 6.0 L engine. I realized after I bought it that it has the smaller engine. My radiator developed a very small leak (at this time).

I am looking for a source for a radiator. I think one that fits an 8.1 should work.

Anyone bought a radiator recently? Thank you.

Any radiator repair shops in your area? It should be a whole lot cheaper to have it repaired rather than buy a new one.

I have had some luck getting RV radiators through NAPA. Is it a leak in a core tube or at the end caps? It may be fixable. However, due to age it may also be corroded and clogged inside.

W 16 radiator

Thank you for the replies.

I am changing my summer trip plans and returning to FL where I have a place to park at a shop I used to own and some knowledgeable help.

I have been in contact with the local radiator shop and they will look at it when I get it out. There isn't any problem with the cooling.

I have been searching for what I think is a GM radiator but no luck so far.
