Dumb Question

I truly hate to ask a dumb question, for I have owned an Airstream for almost 15 years, but if I don't ask, I'll never know: above the couch in the very front of the Airstream, where the information center is located, what is that called? I need to replace mine. I have a 1971 23 ft Safari.

Do you mean the entire interior plastic endcap? If so, I think you are going to have a tough time finding a new one. You might be able to find one from a trailer being parted out, but it will likely not be in much better shape than what you have.

Good luck!

If I had one I would call it a cabinet. It is on my long list of projects to get around to one of these days.

In the 2012 Parts book it's called a Roof Locker.

I got the front interior endcap for my 83 from Oasis in Tuscon they had it in stock (luck). I had called Out of Doors mart and they were going to order it for me. But I was going to be in the Tuscon area and called them . Call it may still be available. Can't hurt

If your talking about the 1/4 circle plastic part, that's called an "end liner".

I don't think the origial is available, so all you can do is get the one that is closest to yours, regardless of the year.

Yup, That thingy is not available except as used parts. Is the original so damaged it cannot be repaired or plain missing? Photos would help.

What you refer to as the information center I think Aistream somewhat grandiously called the Master Control Center. It's not available either.
