Exclamation European style hanging mirrors

Anyone have luck in locating a source for one these mirror assemblies or the 4way actuator motors? Seems my '00 Ultimate Freedom's left/right motor has fried. Called a few salvage yards and no joy

:welcome:

You might try Velvac, they supply a lot of RV mirrors. The European style hanging mirrors are usually found on buses, but they do have them.

Old thread about Ultimate mirrors that says the mirrors are no longer available, and were made by Hella.

In the thread about mirrors, it's said Hella doesn't make mirrors anymore. The link above seems to show them still in business.Here's a link to Hella:

If you want to look for used mirrors, you can check here:

Thanks to all. I'm working on it at all fronts. Saw Hella has 24V systems available through retailers. Also there's a company in Jamaica NY that manufactures one's for buses although I suspect some modifications will be needed to make it work on mine. I'll be making a few more calls to salvage yards to see if i can muster up one with a functional motor. I'll update when i find a viable solution. Again, thanks for the resources. Y'all rock!!

****UPDATE**** in case someone else runs into this issue.
Well the beast is back together with a replacement motor from Hadley (M015376 ACTUATOR MOTOR) with slight modifications:
1. The mounting for the Hadley is with 4 screws to the mirror vice the snap-ring used by Winnebago. Since the motor was exactly the same size and fit the mirror housing, I utilized the screw brackets in the new one to tie wrap it in place using the snap-ring as an anchor. She is solid in place.
2. The Hadley came with the blue/ylw wires jumped together, where as the old motor had all single wires going to it from the coach. You have to get rid of the jumper and jumper the white and black on the motor end and do not hook up the white wire from the coach end and Voila!! Everything works as advertised.
Kinda PIA to get to the motor and put it all back but hey for $40.00 and some sweat and elbow grease, she's back to 100%. Sure beats buying a new assembly from China or Europe for around $1000 or more.
