  • Identify parts needed for cosmetic repair

    Well, after pulling RVs for 7 years I had my first minor accident. In a parking lot trying to avoid a car a clipped a stanchion. All cosmetic damage, no damage to the slide mechanism or any components. Fortunately I had the head on a swivel and realized pretty quick my mistake. Well, it happened, its over, now to just fix it. I need to see about pricing our replacement parts for the damage.

        The skirting material is just a blank piece that requires you to cut out the openings and such here is the number that I found on the parts lookup 570147. I do not see the lower corner trim for the slide. Check with customer service to verify and they should help you with the other parts you need. Shipping is going to be a big number for the skirting piece , not sure what else you can do though.

          My suggestion is to pick it up at the rally in August...

            That is what I keep hearing that the cost of the shipping will be as much as the piece of sheet metal. This does not look like anything special, just painted black thin sheet metal. I though about taking it off and trying to bend it back into shape. Where is the rally in August?

              You might be able to find a local sheet metal shop to bend up a stock piece of aluminum then paint it. You might have luck on straightening it, but my guess is the AL is going to be stretched pretty bad.

              Found what may be the corner piece. Took me a couple of tries, its listed under slide out. Part number 570423 https://www.granddesignrv.com/owner-...s/detail/46426

                  I will not tell a falsehood. It took me several attempts to locate that plastic piece.

                    Elkhart / Goshen In. The techs may even install it for you.

                        There is a National Rally that Grand Design hosts at the end of August first of September each year , well except for last year and hopefully it will be this year. The Rally is held in Goshen Indiana near the GD factory. If you could get there for the Rally then you could probably pick up the parts that you would need.

                            I have ordered the parts and decided to pay the shipping. Looking at the cost of going to the rally from Louisiana versus the cost of various ways to get to the rally, I decided $150 for shipping $100 worth of parts was worth it. I am still about 13 years away from retirement, if retired, I would have gone to the rally instead. Parts are on order. Thanks for the help, hopefully I can make the repairs without any issues.

                              Thanks to the forum for the help. I was able to install the fix this weekend. Finished off the seals with Pro Flexseal. I will be reconnecting the lights tonight once the 3m 3-wire connectors come in from Amazon.
