Need new mirror in a hurry

We had our 2006 Monaco Diplomat in storage & someone broke our passenger side mirror. There is a good chance the company will pay for it, but we need it repaired quickly as we have to travel in about 10 days. It's snapped off at the base, so I don't know if it's possible to just replace that part. I've looked online & so far, all I'm finding are black & ours is chrome.

Ignore the piece of blue green wire in the picture, it's something I put on there to hang something

Anyone have any ideas.

Look and see if you can get the base of the mirror that broke off out of the arm. Should be a Allen bolt or two holding it in. Disconnect the wires so you can work easier. There should be a spade connector (may be at the base).
Call the manufacture and ask if they have a chrome one or start calling RV salvage company's like this one.

Let me know what you find out. What is the name of the manufacture?
Have you tried calling Rev group with your coach serial number?
PLEASE CONTACT OUR CUSTOMER CARE TEAM AT 800-509-3417.

My 2005 Monaco Diplomat used Ramco mirrors. Here is a link to their website, give them a call for the parts. ramco-eng.com

You don't mention the brand name of your mirror, but this site might be helpful Pacific RV Parts

I've got the same mirrors so I'm watching this thread. The lower convex mirror broke loose from the backing on my passenger side so I epoxied it back on.

I remember years ago talking to a guy who had to replace the whole assembly and the price was sky high.

Let us know the outcome.

I don't think I could drive the coach with one of those mirror assemblies missing.

Hard to tell exactly what your mirrors look like. Check out this site:

ramco-eng.com

Their 1750 series is available in chrome and is probably what you are looking for.

We ended up calling Veurinks and they were able to find one for us. It's $454 plus the shipping & we'll have it by the end of the week. Thanks for all your suggestions.

Sorry LOL here. Had the same problem and had a taped mess for a full snow bird season. Can you say, because mine held until on the road, cloths hangers and pieces of rods and wood dowle taped with 100 mile an hour tape.
Good luck.

I have VELVAC mirrors.. ON those there is a clip at the bottom, ONce you remove the broken glass you will see how to release it (The small spot mirror it is on the top) IF there is enough of the mirror left you can take it to any auto-glass place and they can cut you a new one in very short order (I did not have time to finish dinner at a next door restaurant, I'd been wanting to try out for like 3 years).. It will not be heated but it will snap in perfectly (And did too).

For a heated mirror Visone RV in Kentucky if I've spelled it or most any RV junk yard has 'em less expenxive than the glass shop.

Just tape off the heat leads till you get the heated repalcement.. IF that is you want it.. I've used the mirror heaters once in 12 years.

If you want to repair the broken as a spare, the parts should be available. There is a cast frame that extends from the too to the bottom mounting, the mounting is what you have broken. Get the frame, and glass if needed. Carefully disassemble and reassemble with new frame. There are YouTube videos that will show details.

I have experience, unfortunately. Broke one the same in a toll booth.
