I have a couple bits you could have out of my 73 Sovereign. What parts specifically are you looking for?

We saw some at Jackson Center when we were there, or you could ask around.. what sizes do you need? We may not reuse all of ours..

I am looking for the replacement Tambour in most places. The doors above the twin beds are 36" wide and the doors above the sink are 27" wide. If you have anything that is useable it might work. I think the white vertical ones in the bath will be the hardest to find.

I don't know if they are all bad, I suspect not. But ours sat, windows open, hole in roof for several years... The fact that it has a floor is pretty good IMHO.

Please note that this thread dates to 2010.

Anyway. Real Tambour is very expensive. One solution that worked well for us was a bamboo rug believe it or not. I cut it to size. Worked really good. hardest part to any tambour replacement is drilling out the punch marks that hold on the end rail.
