Texas Body Shop.
RandyDupree has the molds or bumpers or has the contact for them 352
538 3435. The vent finns are just resting in the frame so you may
want to remove the frame prior to driving. Could it be that you hit
the 18 wheeler?? your explanation sounds too convincing.

outside of Houston, Tx. I stopped on I-10 in Beaumont at the Petro
Truck stop on the West side of Beaumont.  since there is no parking
for a 42 footer in the front of the Restaurant area, I parked in one
of the 18 wheeler spaces in the rear and went inside to have lunch
with my wife.  When I parked there was an 18 wheeler on the right or
Curb side of me and none on the left or Road side.  When I came out
there were 18 wheelers on both sides and it was kind of a tight
squeeze.  I got in and backed very carefully out and didn't touch a
thing and was happy that it was going so well.  I was on my way to a
Cooper reunion in Newton, TX.  I arrived there and hooked everything
up and got my minivan off the tilt up trailer I was pulling and
everything looked good. I never noticed anything wrong.  The next
day one of my kin folk was looking over my RV and he asked "What
happened there?"  I
> said where and he pointed to the road side rear end of my RV and
lo and behold there was a big chunk of the rear fiber glass bumper
broken off and the road sheet metal had been pushed in slightly and
the vent screen was pulled out about 3 inches.  White paint was on
the sheet metal indicating something white had hit and scraped it . 
The sheet metal damage appeared to have been hit first and then the
driver of the 18 wheeler realized what had happened and tried to
back up and caught the fiberglass bumper and broke off  about 14 to
18 inches of it.
