Montana 2850 fender skirt

[Garlic]

A blowout ripped a fender skirt off my 2002 Montana. I am having no luck in finding a replacement. I found a couple that are "close" but am reluctant to order something I know is not the true replacement.

Suggestions for where to look for the real item are appreciated.

Thanks

We've been to the salvage store in Elkhart and they seem to have almost everything. I don't know how they get the stuff but I think it's material they buy from the manufacturers. Anyway, I've seen an awful lot of fender skirts there for a lot of Montana models. In fact, they even have one for our rig which is a 2000. This may not help you, but it is a possibility.

Orv, Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I found this link that lists RV salvage yards.

Have you tried asking Keystone for the supplier's name so maybe you could order the exact replacement? I have not tried that but would think they could provide that information.

I had the same problem and got frustrated with trying to find a replacement without having to order a full length J-Panel. Luckily, my brother-in-law was able to fabricate a piece for me just the right size to cover the hole left by the damage. I found some paint at the auto parts store that matched the Monty pretty good and after puting a good primer on the new piece I painted it with a couple of coats. I sealed the edge where it overlaps the original J-Panel with silicone sealant. If you have a sheet metal shop nearby that can fabricate a replacement for you it might work out for you too.
