Replacement Plastic Insert for Bottom of Shower Door
Hello-
I am looking for a replacement plastic insert for the bottom of the glass shower door in a 2013 Airstream Flying Cloud. The door itself has PN 703911-01 and I see that the insert simply snaps in but haven't been able to locate a replacement. Any advice is appreciated!

I would advise that you don’t bother.
I left mine off rather than replace after it got torn. I get less water in the hallway without it. The only purpose it serves (from what I can tell) is to sweep water out of the shower area when opening the door

If you do decide to get one , I purchased one from my dealer who carried them in stock.
I'd try the suggestions of not installing first though.
I may try it as the replacement has torn.....again.

You probably want 703911-100 shower swipe.
We have replaced them about once every year; they do not last.

If you plan to replace it (many don't) consider it a consumable which you replace pretty well on a yearly basis; they just don't last.

I replaced the strip because the door was not closing correctly. I found out that my door hinges were sagging so I had new ones installed.

I agree with everyone who said "left it off". Ours tore apart and after using the shower for a while without it decided it was not necessary. No water from the shower and only place I could find it had high shipping charges.

Shower Door Swipe
If and when you replace shower door swipe, examine the door itself to see what may have caused swipe to crap out. Just yesterday, while traveling Interstate 10, we had cause to stop in at Airstream of Mississippi in Gulfport, a Five Rivet Dealership and deservedly so. In addition to work on a stone guard which came very close to separating while driving in traffic (plastic almost came free of aluminum frame), I had Service Manager take a look at our shower door, which had gone through two swipes in as many months.
Our problem it turned out was shower door dragging against sill opposite hinge corner. The dealership raised the door itself by adding washers under a top screw on the hinge side. No more dragging. This AM I replaced our old swipe with new and it works fine, though showering with no swipe did NOT result in water on passageway floor.
Dealers carry replacement swipes in 30-inch lengths. Buy two or three when you buy one. Easy to custom fit and snap into place.
