What parts are you looking for? Finding parts for motorhomes are a bit of an art so posting guidance would lengthy.
Leeann and I both have a lot of resources. My resources generally cover older motorhome and focus on chassis, suspension, and drive train. Leeann is better at coach components, like furnaces, stoves, power converters, etc., although she also some resources for newer chassis. (Newer being relative ...)
Specific questions are best. Otherwise, we run the risk of repeating what's already posted or resorting to generalities that aren't very helpful.
With the right information, I can find sources for specific parts/components/systems but need to know what you're looking for and/or trying to do.
I don't know about him, but 'I' need an emergency brake cable right about 170" long. Where it broke (inside the sheathing) got all frayed because the previous owner couldn't leave well enough alone, and apparently couldn't even tell which end of a screwdriver to hold...
Okay, scratch that last sentence, that was unkind. Some people are born 'mechanically inclined', and some people are born 'mechanically disinclined'. At any rate, the cable ends are frayed, and I'm unable to get an exact measurement. I've tried ALMOST everywhere in Reno (still have one more place to call), and looking at getting a cable manufactured - which leads into a whole new can of worms that I'd rather not deal with if possible.
I'm wondering about the labeling on mine, because even IF a company has information on a m300 chassis, it always seems to come up a little 'short' or 'undersized' when compared to what I'm dealing with.
Welcome back, Griff!!! For Heaven's sake, do NOT over-do things. Don't make me turn Kat loose on you, she'll hand you all kinds of parts of your anatomy in a paper bag!!!
(family joke: one time my ex-wife and daughter were having 'differences', and called me to referee. Kat said "Hand me the phone", and proceeded to read my daughter the riot act. After Kat was done, she told my daughter to hand the phone to her mother. Renee was laughing when she took the phone, and told Kat that Michelle had said "She just handed me my a$$ in a paper bag"!)
