Hi All,
I have wanted to restore a vintage camper for a few years now. Well I was able to locate a 1979 Sportsmen's, 16'.
Boy does it need some roof repair. Most of it is in good condition, but the roof leaks caused damage to the inside back end wall.
What I would like to ask is where online is the most recommended place for parts?
Where can I find information on this particular camper?
Thanks

Try Bontrager's RV Surplus in White Pigeon, Michigan. We stopped there while on vacation, they had stuff I didn't know we even needed. I think, they must buy out surplus items from the trailer industries in Indiana. The prices seemed really fair for what we wanted. I did find a website for them by Googling.

Good luck, I had always wanted to restore an Airstream. We did restore our first 8 1/2 ft.truck camper then our 21 ft.Yellowstone TT, after that we just went with new units.
