Title: R&M Fiberglas Endcaps
Post by: berrybus1 on August 12, 2016, 05:10:42 PM
One of our tail lights have fell out and we need to replace it. Is R&M still in business? Anyone out there know anything about these lights? Seems like I heard that they were lights from Chevrolet van.

Thanks again guys!

Berry -

R&M is still in business, but are no longer supplying bus parts.

However, you should probably call them and ask about your light issue.  Perhaps ask for the parts department?

Their number is 503-580-0151, and they're located in OR, so take into consideration the time difference if you're in a different time zone.

FWIW & HTH. . .

Just to let some of you know as a follow up to my topic, I Did find out that the lights we have from R & M were 1992 Ford Econline Van lights.  I spoke to the wife of the owner of R & M, they had a fire that burned up all their molds.  Sad story for a small business owner that had a great product.  Not sure what direction they will go from here, but they sure were helpful with me when I was installing my caps.

I have two of these lights I removed from my coach if you're interested in them. No screws just the plastic housings... send me $30 for the pair plus shipping and I can get them to you. Just give me some time. I'm booked solid for a week or two. Let me know. I'll let you know what shipping will cost when you give me an address:

Thank you so much for your offer, Scott, we found the replacement light through a body shop, once we found out the model that they were originally from.  But we appreciate your offer for sure!

And luvrbus, you may be absolutely correct about that, I may have misinterpreted that information about the fire, such a sad story for them, they seem like nice people for sure.
