Needed, outside refridgerator panel for 79' 31' Landyacht

[wacnstac]

Just bought this trailer, it is new to me. It does not have the door or covering that goes of the exterior access to the refridgerator. Anybody know where a new one can be had? If not what is the best way to replace?

Hi, Wacnstac,

That panel is not unique to Airstreams. I'd stop by my local mid- to large-size RV dealer with a shop and see if they have any old ones laying around. I think all you need to do is to provide the dimensions and say it's for a '79 Dometic. (Maybe you shouldn't mention "Airstream" right off the bat.) The panel was missing on my Argosy when I got it, and Three-Way Trailer in Atlanta sold me a used, but nice, one for $5. I painted it to match the trailer, and it's been on ever since.

Yeap it's for a Dometic. Does that original panel have a weather seal?

[wacnstac]

I've been scouring all the used parts sites on the internet to no avail thus far.

Anybody know of any good salvage yards where they might have such a part?

Sweet, found a used one at a Salvage yard for $50.
