1984 Vogue PARTS???????

[freebird0700]

Hi everyone'
I am looking to see if anyone knows where I can get new or used parts for our 1984 Vogue 29'? I have call Vogue places but they only deal in the Vogue's of the 70's. And no one can tell me anything. I'm hoping someone out there can help. I live in Titusville FL not that far from Orlando. Any help would be nice. And thank you.

right now we are looking a a windshield wiper motor. But we just got this and I know we will need other things. But one thing at a time.

What chassis do you have, Ford or Chevy?

Most chassis and  mechanical parts are available - they are not unique Vogue parts. They all were sourced from standard industry components - the problem is identifying them and finding the source for the component. Asking for a Vogue wiper motor will get you nowhere, but asking for a Dubovic #27843 motor might get what you need, or a substitute (part name/number ifs fictitious).

There are groups that specialize in vintage RVs - the members help each other out with this sort of stuff. Yahoo Groups is the home for some of them - there is even a Vintage Vogues group! Not real active, but maybe some help?

Tincan Tourists is another vintage RV group.

Mill Supply carries a wide variety of Step Van parts as well as car parts.  The Step Van parts are also commonly used in RVs.  Take a look:

Another Vogue, I am impressed now for the parts piece. As an owner of a 1985 Vogue ( your model number is probably 29T ). I always go for direct replacements regarding the P30 chassis or pull the defective part and take it to the parts house and match up via numbers and part size.
Most everything I have replaced to date has worked using the match by part number and using P30 year and engine size when requesting parts. Things replaced for the exterior has been pretty standard also.
I need to replace my front bumper and have not had any luck with that yet but still checking salvage yards.

Well... I just got a 38' Vogue II from 1986, and find myself wondering whether it is worthy of restoration, or whether I should scrap it.

I believe it is a Dodge chassis, and I am impressed with the 1-piece fiberglass roof, and the early smooth fiberglass outer skin - and it is clear to see that when it was new, it was a "top of the line" model - but it is totally destroyed inside, and a restoration would include taking it down to nothing - including removing (carefully) the outer skin and rebuilding the walls - likely new floors too.

So I would be interested to know anyone's perspective on the old girl - restore or junk?
