Where is the best place to get parts. I will need the plastic fender skirt and I think it would be easiest to buy the new alum trip piece. Any help would be great as I am new to camping. I bought this as a repo and do not have any dealer support and i am willing to fix it myself. jamway • View posts Ranger TX.

Don't do like I did and not order the little braces that was broken.

This is a common problem. I have repaired my fender wells on our present fiver on three separate occasions over the years. I finally stopped having tire failures and doing the trailer repair when I switched to Michelin XPS ribbed tires six years ago. They cost more than most tires, but I have saved by not having anymore fender and fender well repairs.

I used to have a Dutchman and they were TERRIBLE to deal with in regard to parts. It took them the better part of two months to get me a replacement window when I still had the warranty on the 5er. As far as the aluminum goes, any body shop can custom fab that for you. As Road Runner stated, this is a common problem. I'll be picking up my Sea Hawk from the dealer on Thursday to repair the damage from the tire separation I had earlier this year. 2012 RAM 3500 Laramie Longhorn DRW CC 4x4 Cummins HO, 60 gallon RDS aux fuel tank, Reese 18k Elite hitch 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 QC SB 4x4 Cummins HO NV5600 with Smarty JR, Jacobs EB (sold) 2002 Gulf Stream Sea Hawk 29FRB with Honda EV6010 ExRocketScientist • View posts Laurel, MD Senior Member Joined: 11/11/2010 View Profile Posted: 02/08/12 05:37am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator If you can't work with Dutchman for parts, get the aluminum made like was mentioned. Then work with Pelland Enterprises to see if you can get the fender skirt: http://www.pellandent.com ERS Chris • View posts Shelter Bay, Wa Senior Member Joined: 12/19/2000 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 02/08/12 06:04am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator If those are GY Marathon's file a claim with them.

I didnt know that a body shop could get the metal. That was what I am most concerned about finding. I will check that out. Thanks for the input! the bear II • View posts Torrance CA.

I got a replacement fender from ICONdirect.com. Get the measurements from the intact fender. Shipping was pricy as they're in Canada... My Alumimun skirt wasn't too ragged for too far, so I just pounded it back out out with a hammer and a steel angle (Body Tools would have been neater/better). Still a little dimpled/uneven, but so what? Finished with Krylon White Auto Spray Paint from Wal-Mart applied along entire lower trim.

Thats the way it has always worked for me with goodyear and carlisle trailer tires.
