I need to replace the T-molding around the platform of the bed and also the dinette table but not sure how to best approach this as I'm sure there are many variations of this product. Has anyone done this and where is a good source.
I have removed a small section and would like to get a sample before ordering to make sure it matches up to the one I will be replacing.

I replaced some T-molding a couple years ago and the only place I could find it was Ebay. The local dealers didn't have it.

Need two different color, tan for the bed and gray for the dinette table, Could use gray for both area.

The width across top of T = 1 3/16"

Looking at the outwater.com site it is difficult to find the correct one as they have numerous choices. I should probably call Outwater and ask if I can send in a sample so they can match it ?. Is there any other ideas on how best to match the existing one.

I sent in some samples to Outwater and they matched it up as best they could but they only sell it in 250' lengths. They could not provide a source for shorter lengths. I only need around 30'.

Does anyone know of a source for shorter lengths.

Just finished replacing all of ours this summer--had the gold trim in it and we got rid of all the gold in our camper.

Went to Forest River (they did not have in their warehouse)--they checked with the cabinet maker they use and were able to get me what I need.

I would go that route--I had checked all over and could not find it

They also sold me brushed nickel hinges for .44 ea as we replaced all of the hardware in the Fifth Wheel.

Thank you Eric for the source. I had contacted West & Barker per your recommendation and after discussing my needs and reviewing the samples I did come up with the correct molding and best of all I was able to order it in a quantity less then 250'

Once again Thank you.

We seem to always complain when we encounter bad experiences when purchasing or obtaining service that I would like to share a positive experience with a company named West & Barker, Inc.

Just to let everyone know should you need to replace the T-Molding in your recreational vehicle, I highly recommend West & Barker, Inc. as they provided sample molding from which I selected the exact match. In addition, Susanne provided excellent customer service and fast shipment of my order.
