Even if the company was still in business the coach would be out of warranty and at ten years old most RV companies wouldn't have the caps regardless. Styles have changed.
Few caps are replaced anyway, as most Fiberglas damage is just repaired.
The only real thing, I like about my present coach, engine and chassis, still being in business, is for the tech support I get, when required, along with any drawings and diagrams that they might have available.
Agree on most fiberglass repairs. It was strange to see all those fiberglass molds stacked in the yard. Since many CC's had fiberglass storage compartment doors, I suspect those molds might be more useful. I did talk to a tech who worked in the fiberglass shop and he said they often are making replacement panels, etc. for coaches in for repairs.
As far as tech support, there are several good options. All CC's came with a plastic container with all the wiring, plumbing, pneumatic, etc. schematics and a host of other tech stuff about the coach. Only useful, of course, if every owner of a coach kept them. Another source are several CC employees who are still working for the new company (Greg Bootes for example) who provide phone support and will send (for a fee) brochures, diagrams, etc. The best support for many of us with CC's are Kevin Waite and Butch Williams. They were long time CC builders and techs and offer technical support via phone, text or email for an annual fee. You can contact them any time and they will talk you through diagnosis and repair. Kevin is also an excellent resource for hard to find parts.
