RV Parts

RV parts - Thou shalt NOT buy an rv for which you have not determined your source for repair and replacement parts. If you can't find a supplier in a month then you probably will never find that part. Many are surprised when they see attractive $30,000+ rvs sitting idle and don't realize it is normally due to replacement parts problems.

For instance, our super high quality commercial grade convection microwave died after 14 years. No stores carried this size microwave in the convection version, convection means you can cook like an oven. We ended up searching ebay and buying a replacement that was used. When it arrived and after paying $50 for shipping it was the wrong size and it was not a convection. A month, five phone calls, and ten emails later, we returned that microwave and got another one in. The second microwave was great but it was much larger than it should have been. We spent four hours rebuilding the cabinet and retrofitting the oversize microwave convection. Big hassle and a lot of work.

Finding the right rv parts for your RV can be time consuming and difficult. The best way to find good suppliers is using the ads on this page, staying in touch with your local dealer (this can be an expensive place for parts), and retrofitting or using household items as replacement parts. Visit selling an RV for guidelines to ensure your RV sale goes well.

For instance, we used a $20 faucet from Home Depot for our bathroom sink. Keep in mind that many household parts from hardware stores are not as high quality and are often not the right size for use in a motorhome. Many times it pays to just order from an on-line internet based RV parts store. You can also contact your manufacturer if your RV is older and they will often have hard-to-find items you can purchase on a one-by-one basis.

Finding a direct source for recreational vehicle parts, supplies, and accessories for your motorhome, travel trailer, 5th wheel, or pop-up camper has never been more convenient. Simply search the extensive online catalogs for the part you need, order online using secure order forms, and your parts ship directly to you for installation. Visit bus parts or truck parts for information on buying parts for your bus or truck.

Used rv parts for the major brands are available for even 30 to 40 year old units. More obscure brands, those made in foreign countries and imported, and models with short production spans can present major problems however. Parts availability issues are one of the reasons you sometimes see beautiful $20,000 - $40,000 RV's sitting idle. These are huge complicated machines depending on the proper functioning of thousands of used parts. Be sure you have at least TWO sources for parts lined up BEFORE buying any used camper - rv parts.
