Each of these parts are interweb available. May take some searching but not unique to a RP179. That's where I would start. Unless you can find someone parting out a 179 which I think would be more difficult. RPods are built with commercially available parts. FR didn't use some priority parts to build their RVs.

I try to avoid buying from the behemoth Amazon and rely on small businesses. Any recommendations for smaller suppliers of r Pod parts and accessories? Thanks for your reply.

I think you would be in a better position to use Duck Duck Go, Google, or other search engine to search for and find parts local to you from smaller suppliers. Sometimes, you do have to go with the "behemoth" though. Search for Camping World or other RV dealers near you. You may find what you need from one of them.

Edit: I have purchased from PPL when I needed a replacement door shelf for our refrigerator.

Be prepared for sticker shock when it comes to Dometic parts. They don't come cheap.

Sheiaru,

Understand. I but a lot of trailer stuff from etrailer.com. Specific parts I do searches and see who has it. AND believe it or not a lot of top RV dealers sell on eBay. The mark up on eBay is slimmer than Amazon. Literally I have bought from hundreds of vendors over the years.
