Need part for my 233s

[thestrangebrew]

Long story short my buddy raised my bunk to change the propane tank out before I could remove the shepherd hook. The bunk end "frame" that you use the shepherd hook to "push out" the canvas is all bent now and my cable is disconnected. I need to find that part to fix my bunk end. Any help would be great thanks.

That's referred to as the "hoop" or tent support.
You'll have to order it from a FR dealer. It may be worth a try, to call FR parts department.

Perfect thanks. Just called and they said they needed last 8 of my VIN so I'll have to get that info tonight and call them back in the morning!

Ordered the part. $15. $135 for shipping! WHAT? lol I might just contact my dealer and have them quote me for the part to see how much it would cost.

You can often have them ship it inside another RV going to your dealer, then they don't charge you. That's often been reported here on the forum for replacement bunk doors.

You're getting hit with the UPS large package surcharge.

How'd you buddy get the forklift so close to the trailer?

Forgot about this. Contact Forest River and they said they agree the shipping was high and said they'd refund me $100. He didn't use a forklift, just used his back to push up on the bunk end hard enough to bend the hoops I guess.
