Ann google colaw's RV salvage or RV revive. The only place to get this trim is form salvage. It is not available from A/S. I am also missing some of the lower beltline trim but not the piece you need. BTW 74 and up is different.

I'd have to check my notes to be sure, but I believe that specific trim is only found on '71 to '73. Later years used a plastic trim insert. IF you found some salvage from a later model trailer that was the same or larger, you could replace it all the way around to match.

I have started a new thread under the knowledge section title 73 Tradwind project and going to list our work there so I have everything documented on one thread. If you have time, check out our other trim question.
