Default Want to Buy for the RV

Have a '97 Fleetwood American Eagle Motor Coach that's almost finished repairing after a front end wreak.
Drove from West Texas to near South Bend, IN to buy a Entry Door (no screen door) for the repair. Stoped by the Fleetwood mfg. facilities; they were very helpful with other parts needed for the repair but unable to locate or build the Entry/Screen Door.
So many of the parts are NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
Difficult to locate in the few RV wreaking yards too
(the other Coaches found had front end damage also).

I need the Entry Door SCREEN for a '97 - '99 Fleetwood American Eagle.
If by chance the Screen Door for the American Dream would fit or IF it can be built I'm open to any solution.

I'd hope that since UPS will accept a package the length of the Screen Door you'll be willing to ship it via UPS!

Do you think you might come up with the Screen Door
sometime in the future?

I'm interested in locating a source for parts for my RV's.
(wreaking yards, parts suppliers or surplus parts)

Any help is truly appreciated.

This is a picture of the door shape
and measurement notes (should have been a doctor )

Not to be discouraging, but it is going to be tough to find a factory part.

Can you fabricate a new screen door?

From what we found out, the door was built by Avionic Structures
in California. Supposedly PTL in MI built the screen door and shipped to
CA before the door w/screen was sent to Fleetwood in IN.
PTL sold the "pines bender" in an auction, they used the bender to fabricate the screen door.
Wondering who has the pines bender or who could fabricate it?

Finding the Entry Door was a challenge but thank goodness we found
the needle in a haystack
Fortunate that Goldstar was able to pop a new fiberglass front end out
of the mold for us!
