Anyone know where I can get a set of replacement wheel well covers? I'm looking for the interior set (white ABS) that screws to the interior wall and the floor. These sit on top of fiberglass insulation and the black ABS inner fender wells. The mounting lips on mine are seriously deteriorating and I really don't want to use gallons of fiberglass to build them back.

That's it exactly! Thank you. I looked all over Inland RV's site and couldn't find them. You have a better internal search engine than me apparently. Are you powered by Google? Hahaha

BEWARE !! I saw your post while searching for the same thing, inner fender covers. I contacted out-of-doors-mart and told them what I needed for my 76 soveriegn. They call A/S directly to get the part # and drop shipped them to me. When they arrived they were black (not a problem at all) and looked great. When I went to install them I realized they were not the same size. Front to back is OK, side to side is OK, but sitting on the outer fenders they are 2" from touching the floor. I measured my old ones and these are 2" shorter. I contacted A/S directly
and was told that was all they had, I could ship them back at my expense. Well it cost about $100.00 to get them here and $100.00 to send them back, that's $200.00 shipping to get back the 90.00 product cost. A/S said Oh Well, and were of no further help. NOT COOL

What they sold you was the outer fender well covers that are right above the wheels. You need the inside beige covers. I think the outer covers are the ones you need to worry about as far as leaks.

I believe I have, what is supposed to be, the right ones. A/S said they no longer make them off white, only black. Plus the outer covers are made differently. My original outer covers were in good shape, so I reused them. A/S tech said he had never seen this fit problem before. Out-Of-Doors-Mart tech said he has seen it and that they use wood strips to build the floor up 2" to the lip of the cover. Still not really any help.

Well.... here's my answer.

Thought I'd go ahead and comment so this thread comes up on the board for all to see.

I'm doing my brand new inner and outer wheel wells, and this thread sums it up. They dont fit. I placed a huge order 2 years ago to combine shipping costs and.. (wow- I'm 2 1/2 years deep into this airstream I was just going to "clean up and go camping". Ha)

So needless to say... I wish I had kept my old interior wheel well covers. Maybe someone else will catch this before they order waaaay ahead of time, and throw out their old!

Maybe some of the aluminum duct tape would have fixed your old ones good enough. Sorry you had so many issues.

Yeah- could have done something... found this thread right after sending an email to odmrv to figure out how to get the "right" inner wheel well... then read this to find my answer...

Guessing I will try and build up the perimeternsonit fits.

Do any of the renovation steps go smoothly?

If it goes smoothly stop. You have obviously left out a critical part or step that will bite you in the butt real soon.
