Rubber Trim Moldings - Update

Does anyone know where you can get a roll of the rubber trim molding that fits in the track and goes around the camper? I would like to replace mine.

July 2 Thanks for the tip on the factoryrvsurplus.com. I ordered on Sunday evening and it arrived on Thursday morning. They even called me to let me know they didn't have enough to fill my order but were expecting it soon. With shipping, about 30 cents per foot.

In looking over the camper, I discovered that there are actually three different moldings. The molding at the top (lengthwise) is one type. It is the same molding that is underneath the bedroom (the hitch area and underneath the front traverse compartment). Secondly is the trim I replaced. Finally, there is yet another one around the entrance door.

It took an afternoon, my drill driver, a razor knife and a small amount of silicone caulk.

The camper looks much better.

Just Google for "vinyl insert". Lots of RV places carry it. JR Products is one manufacturer.

Try Factory RV Surplus
http://www.factoryrvsurplus.com/index.php?cPath=85_260
We were there a week ago and they have much more in the way of trim than they show online and their prices are right. We got trim for .20/ft and the surplus store down the street wanted .35

It's not rubber, it's vinyl and you can get it at Camping World and most RV accessory stores.

Factory rv surplus has it. I bought some last fall. If you need to clean it order some streak-x. I put this on mine and it cleaned it really well. The molding for your fiver will cost about 75-100.00 plus shipping. It comes in a big roll and you will have to know how many feet you need. Just make sure you order the right kind, they have at least 3 types.

I've been getting ready to buy some myself...and I found that there's a difference in some of the thicknesses. Apparently, some of the thinner/cheaper stuff won't last long (buckle/pull away). I wish I could tell you which one, but I haven't narrowed it down yet.

Different mouldings have different prices of course but I was able to buy enough for our 04 for $20(shipping extra). This did not include the strip that runs front to back near the top on the side. That would be about $10

Got mine at Camping World also. Put a hex head screw through each end to keep it from peeling off.

Neither the local Montana dealer, Camping World or two different RV parts stores here about have had the 3/4" trim with the slotted edges. I am still looking for a local supplier.
