Bathroom light shade '70 Caravanner
I usually check Inland RV first. Nothing in their inventory matches. The light switch on mine is on the right side. Can someone walk me through uploading an image to this post? I see a button for add video but no button for add photo. If I use the button with the mountain on it, it asks for a URL. How do I assign a URL to my image? Many thanks!

I use Photobucket to host the image and then paste the URL link on here.
Here's a picture of my dirty '71 when I bought it. If it looks like this, I don't think they're made any longer.

That light lens has not been available from Airstream for several decades.
Sorry.

Bathroom light shade '70 Caravanner
Yep, that's it. Same shade.
I was hoping that someone parted-out a trailer and had one for sale. Thanks for the tip on photo bucket. I will give that a try.
Cheers!

Mine has a crack so I'm careful if I need to remove it.

Mine was cracked so I glued it and treat it carefully. I've never seen a matching shade for sale.

There was a posting a few weeks back on how to make new lenses for old marker lights.
Could this same process be adapted to create a new lens for the bath????
Just wonder what might happen with a little trial and error.

Unless you are doing a museum quality restoration, I don't see any reason to keep the old light to begin with. It uses incandescent energy gobbling bulbs, the covers all yellow and become brittle and although they were OK in the '70's why not just replace the entire light fixture with something available today? It would be a simple swap out.

I agree, why not replace the fixture with a modern unit?

I converted mine to LED. I wanted to keep the vintage look.
If there is a plastic supply place near you they probably know someone who can fabricate a new one. There are only 4 bends.

Thanks to all who responded. I glued the two halves together with superglue and will live with it.
Cheers!
