RV Junkyards
If you own an older motorhome, you may encounter challenges finding replacement parts when original equipment manufacturers go out of business or stop manufacturing specific components. Even with newer rigs, finding heavy-duty vintage hardware can offer superior durability compared to modern alternatives. Specialized RV junkyards provide an excellent source for sourcing hard-to-find components.
Dedicated RV wrecking yards across North America stock vehicles spanning several decades. Commercial repair shops routinely rely on these salvage outlets when catalog parts are discontinued. Beyond specialty outlets, general automotive recyclers frequently stock recreational vehicles as well.
Sourcing components from salvage yards keeps repair costs low, provides access to out-of-print hardware, and promotes recycling within the RV community.
