Where to get storage pods for Lance 815

I'm ready to mount my Lance 815 on my SB Ram however it was set up for a LB and doesn't have the rear storage pods that mount the brake lights when used on a SB.
I saw a pair on CL awhile back before I had the camper so I didn't get them. Haven't seen any since.
I called Lance and since they don't make the 815 any longer, their supplier doesn't make the pods.
They are roughly 15"w x 16"d x 18"h. I though about having them fabricated out of diamond plate material with a nice locking door and mount trailer lights into the back.
The camper is prewired and has a flat 4 plug on each side so a simple set of trailer lights should work. I hate to see what someone will charge to make these, but when available they were around $500 from Lance.
Also thought about asking someone selling their SB 815 to remove them and sell them to me.
Or, sell it and buy a new 865!!
Any other ideas?
  • I got lucky and found a local dealer who just took pods off an 815.
    $400. Problem solved
  • Supply and demand.
    Since they don't make them anymore, it's hard to find them.
    I'm sure it would have been more $ to have some made.
  • Just keep an eye on Craigslist. Twice in my area over the last couple months a set of pods has come up. I almost bought the last set to resell. Seller only wanted $100.
