Dupree products & trim

[williamcharrison]

I recently ordered (and received) replacement ballasts for my
2 light fixtures in the dining room but they are not low
profile like the original and the only way they will work is if I put
them inside the overhead compartments above the dining table. When
I tried to contact Dupree, I got no response. Are they still in
business? Also need to find a source for the hard rubber trim
that fits in the top and bottom grooves of the ss side trim.

Stephen does the Dupree products as a sideline. He is an engineer on the train full time. Sometimes he cannot answer the phone. His products are great as I have purchased many items from him in the past.

Chuck did you find the trim?

The flex-vinyl molding shrinks over time. BB did not have any nor did they
know of a
supplier manufacturing a replacement.

I had spent some time trying to match up a cross section online with no luck.

Just last week I bought some that was wider than my existing trim and clearly
not as high
a quality, but it looks just fine as it fits in the grooves and has a rounder
profile. I'd be
happy to send you a sample to try it and do have photos if you are interested.
I purchased
mine at Majors RV on Cape Cod MA and it was only $7 for 25FT.

I did replace the whole pieces on the doors but only replace the sections that
had shrunk
for the sake efficiency.

What I did on our '90 PT40 worked and may for you.I used RTV on one
end to glue about a foot of the trim in place. Then on a hot day I
stretched the vinyl insert toward the other end back to over it's
original length then used RTV to glue that end (again about the last
one foot). I secured the vinyl in place with duct tape until the RTV
curred. This lasted the several years I still owned the coach.

Chuck,
As far as the rubber trim, go to this Ebay seller:

http://stores.ebay.com/Mobile-Home-RV-Su...arts-Store

Type "trim" in the search box on the left. They have all sizes,
colors, etc. and the price is right.

Bob, can you send the exact link for the trim that you ordered? Mine has shrunk so bad that it really looks tacky.

Ernie,
The Ebay seller is Mobile Home/RV Surplus Parts Store

http://stores.ebay.com/Mobile-Home-RV-Su...arts-Store

The easiest way to find all of their vinyl trim is to type "trim" in
the search box upper left.

I used the 3/4" black on the front of mine.
