As many know as an rv gets older it gets harder to get original parts. I am always searching for upgrade items, get frustrated and normally fabricate my own stuff or replace with new.
It is a struggle, but one I feel is well worth doing. I love the looks my rv gets when I pull in somewhere with a 29 yo rig that looks and runs great.
My purpose in this thread is to reach out to others whom have had or are having this same struggle finding parts...body, trim, interior, etc.
Any leads on where to get parts would be truely appreciated. I don't mind altering new parts for what I need but it would be nice to find original stuff as well.
RV salvage yards are ok but mostly what I find is asking for a part through email, waiting a week and getting the "we have nothing like that" reply. Part of the gig I guess for owning a vintage rig.

I wouldn’t assume because it’s built on a P30 it’s all Chevy. Anything that’s part of the chassis is probably Chevy. Other than that, it’s fair game. Example is my 98 P30, AC compressor and condenser are factory Chevy, heater evaporator and box are aftermarket, controls are Ford.

Finding repair parts for my 18 year old orphan (Euroliner) is a challenge, yours would be really tough.

The P-30 chassis is basically a stretched step van and there are lots of chassis parts here https://www.millsupply.com/stepvan-parts/

Thanks George....that's a great link.

I have only seen 1 other rig like mine. Establishment back in 89 owned airstream whom oversaw making my Windjammer. The chassis is Chevy as well as the steering wheel and even the dash cluster is of the p30 models....

Euroliner is owned now by Overland I believe...no parts help there? Euroliner did have some fabulous rvs.
