New to me 5th wheel looking for info.

Just purchesed a new to new 1987 29ft travel villa 5th wheel. I dont see much online about them. I do see they were orphaned around 1990. Any info on the brand or links to parts would be great. I will post pics once a get some.
  • There are generic wheel fenders available for various axle centers. They don't have the logo of the originals, but that shouldn't matter. Can't remember who carries them, but you can google that.

    Thanks for the reply. Im talking more like wheel well plastic ( trim peace for wheel wells) and things like that. Stuff specific to the manufacturer. I do like your idea on the binder. My TC was made of all hodgepodge replacement stuff, that would have been a great idea for that.


    RV Savage Yards......but stuff is going to be hard to find

    Fiberglass shop...make replacements?

    Dometic/Norcold

    Shurflo/Flojet
    Lippert/Venture

    Go thru RV and ID all components....Brand/Model then you can do a google search for that specific brand/model service manual. Download.....print...your own 3 ring binder manual
