Help finding parts - Dynamax 2009 Isata
My friendly local repair shop burned the outside paint and trim around the rear side-entry door (long story) and now the body shop cannot find parts for the fix. I am looking for anyone with an angle on a junk yard or 'retirement' spot for ten-year-old RVs that are no longer on the road. I am hoping to find a door we can simply replace, and a grab handle. The rest can be done with paint.
What I need:
Lighted grab handle (says Dynamax on it) Or any other, preferably lit) with the same dimensions
Door rubber seal
Full in-door window glass and rubber
Door window day/night shade
Can anyone help me sourcing these? I tried Forest River factory with no luck. They tried the window manufacturer with no luck. Crazy that I cannot find anything at all, so hoping one of you readers may have some ideas.
Thank you in advance! Photos attached - however most of them are sideways!!

I am sorry that I dont have a source for your parts, just wanted to say sorry for your situation with your rig, hopefully you can get that corrected.

The lighted handle doesn’t look any different to me than what they still use today. Maybe call Dynamax parts and give them the end to end dimension and screw pattern and see if it’s the same as they use today.

Check with a big rig or boat repair shop. I would think a fiberglass capable body shop could repair the body panel.
I agree with milkman55. The grab handle looks very similar to current use handle.
Call Dynamax parts. Maybe send them pictures.
Good luck.

That would appear to be the IllumaGrip handle, so if nothing else, this should help if you dont have luck with Dynamax parts.

Can also get replacement led bulbs too.

that curved wall door was made by PTL door. They would be the ones that could tell you if they can build it again. that was specific to our curve and we don't build curved walls anymore. Somewhat for that reason...finding suppliers.

Hmmmm, it is not curved, but I guess the photos make it look that way. Would the supplier be the same if not?

Yes. Have been back and forth with them for weeks trying to find the handle and the window at least. No joy... hence my message here. I was hoping for something we hadn't thought of.
Thank you both for replying.

Forgot to say the side panel paint is the easy part. It looks to be paint-only damage.

It's hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like that handle could be lightly sanded and polished. There are places that restore headlight lenses or if you are a do-it-yourselfer there are many polishing kits and you tube videos available.
