Online Parts Dealer For Towables?

[Wmlunt-WO]

Does anyone know of a good online towable parts dealer?
Looking for a replacement towel bar for bathroom.
I contacted lichtsinn and they do not do towable parts…
Thx! Bill

Bill, I don’t know the answer but I’d bet you’ll be much better of replacing that tower bar with something other than a Winnebago towable part.

Winnebago doesn’t make the towel bar, they buy it from a 3rd party RV parts distribution company. One that likely sells to other RV companies, too.

There are other companies but you might try Recpro. They seem to have lots of stuff like this.

Best bet for small parts that are not Rv specific, like towel bars, is actually most any place other than RV supplies!
What drives prices is often how many people are willing to buy, regardless of price.
Rv prices are like most any specific item sold by dealers who cater to the special buyer!

Best value and best selection can often be found at the places that sell the most of the specific item, unless it truly is a one of a kind item. For towel bars I go to the big box stores if it is something the normal homeowner buys!

When it comes down to something that is RV specific, I do an online search and find dozens of dealers selling the same item. Then I go for price/shipping to decide!

Thanks guys, but I want the replacement towel bar to add above the existing one, and feel it should match.
I’m sure one from a big box store would serve the function but would look terrible when there is no towels on them.

Perhaps replace them both with something new. It will likely be easier and cheaper to do that than locate the original part.

I understand wanting them to look alike. I do not even know if this is possible but maybe call winnebago direct and ask for the name of the manufacturer of the towel bar. Once you have a name the process might become easier.
Etrailer seems to have a selection of parts that my work

As already said worst would be replace with big box stuff.

We have a 2018 micro minnie 2106ds and have 100% success getting either identical parts or very close to OEM on Amazon. The photos and many times descriptions and size drawings are very helpful we have gotten matching towel racks, replacement light fixtures, screen door sliders and many other parts to fix for the road!
Attached is almost identical to Winnebagos bath harware.

I was going to suggest etrailer but I see that is already been done. Indeed they have been good. But there is another option Google can use video search or if the existing bar has some written lettering on the backside of company of origin then taking a photo and using it in a google item search can quite often find very specific items. It does quite frequently fail but then again without knowing the exact manufacturer of a item and or the item number it can be a needle in a haystack undertaking. The item you are looking for might just be a common one stocked in home improvement stores not an rv specific item at all as exclusive manufacture of everything is not always the case or you may find something so close as to be acceptable and not different enough to spoil the looks. Most importantly if I was doing the fitting of a new rack is exactly how the towel bar is going to be attached to the RV. There may be no way to do it if access to the backside is required to install a strengthening backing plate or there is no frame in that section of wall to screw into. Just screwing the attachment plates directly to the thin wall may not be adequate to hold any weight at all or survive for very long without someone or something accidently dislodging the screws. The blind valances on some Winnies are famous for being poorly attached, ours fell off on a bumpy road and we had to create new ones specially constructed to hold the blinds in place in our Winnie adequately. Not a big deal as my brother builds guitars and the woodwork he did is feather light and super strong and looks one heck of a lot better than the original heavy cheap chipboard garbage covered in the cheapest auto grade vinyl that were original install from the factory. The picture below shows how big and crappy the original valances that held the blinds in place were. Sometimes one can do much better than factory with these RVs and trailers and being bone stock is not necessarily a great selling point IMO especially when it comes to the accessories.
