Driver Mirror & Arm replacement source?

[RV-Writer]

My inlaw hit my driver mirror with his truck. I need a new electric adjust & heated mirror & arm. Black arm.

Anyone know a good source?

1998 Holiday Rambler Endeavor 37cds

Thanks in advance
Jim

I am not sure - is there a way to confirm on my mirror? Thanks for your help

Go to those two company's website and find one that looks like yours.


Yes, there is likely to be a name on your mirrors.

Try Colaws RV Salvage, Carthage,MO. You could probably get a used one that wouldn't stand out as a new one could. I have gotten several things from them.

I'm fairly certain that a 1998 Holiday Rambler Endeavor used Velvac mirrors as OEM and most likely a Velvac 2030.

2030 System, Black, 14" Arm, Driver Side

I too would search the salvage yards as a new arm and accessories may be quite expensive for such a old coach. A Velvac 2030 is quite ubiquitous and has been used for decades as OE motorhome mirrors by many manufacturers. Therefore, you don't need to acquire one from a 1998 Endeavor specifically.

The two biggest RV salvage yards that will in all likelihood have the largest inventory of salvaged parts, including Colaws that has been mentioned above, are:

Visone

Colaw

For other specialized parts for Velvac mirrors, you can buy directly through Velvac ...or Pacific Mirrors that is mentioned on the forum regularly as a good source for Velvac mirror parts and sometimes sells for slightly lower prices that going through Velvac directly.

Velvac has knowledgeable people there. My right side mirror got taken out by a big rig on my 2002 Dolphin. I called and they told me that Doplhin wanted something different, they hang off the mount not sit on top, and they don't stock them. They have the molds for nearly every mirror they ever produced so they can make a replacement. I ordered a complete new mirror because the difference in price between the entire mirror and the shell was about $65. I think it was a little over $200 shipped. Had to wait four weeks for them to make the new mirror. This was in 2020.

Give them a call, I think your mirror is OEM on a lot of RV's.

Thank you.

Neither of the salvage yards have the mirror. �� Waiting on velvac to return my call. Trying to confirm correct part number. The one you listed looks correct 2030 system, but I think the mirror head is 2020 system?

Thank you for the great help

My right rear view mirror had a bumping contest with a tree. The tree won. Sheared the mirror right off the arm.

Went thru Thor to get the specs on my Intruder so I could order the exact model replacement from Velvac. They have to build a new mirror and then it will be in white. Should be shipping out this week. (Three weeks). Then have to get it painted to match.

So far….$578 for the mirror. Will not know shipping costs till it ships. Then there is the cost of getting it painted. Had to get the whole arm and mirror. Dang tree!

Now that you have a new mirror what do you use to fill the stripped holes in the coach. I clipped a pick up mirror that was sticking out into the road. Picked up mirror this morn now need to attack it.
