Title: Prevost baggage compartment door, need replacement.
Post by: chuckd on September 15, 2017, 06:22:03 AM
I had a brain burp, and creased my 1979 Prevost stainless steel baggage compartment door.  It is 33 X 45, any idea where I can get a replacement.  Have not tried Prevost, as I wanted to have an idea of what a used door might sell for, if I can find one.  Thanks everyone.

do you have 35ft coach?  I have frame for one that is 53" I will double check.. If it is lower foot only you can have that skin made at local sheet metal shop...   Steve at IBP   International bus parts is best bet

Wish my doors would work for you as I have a complete set of engine and bays doors from a 2005 Country Coach Prevost all nice and shiny

If your door is polished, it's #8 finished stainless steel.  A shop can make that lower piece pretty cheap, otherwise Steve at IBP is your man.

Cliff!  I wish I knew you had those doors!!  I spent 4 hours with a hammer and acetylene torch straightening out the AC door on a XL2, the panels from IBP were $1500.

Look at the egde of the door behind the rub rail. That is where the top panel laps over the bottom panel. You should only have to replace the top or bottom unless both are damaged. If it is the bottom panel, there is a man in Nixa MO that can bend up the bottom panel since it is just high polish SS but with bottom lip. If it is the top panel you need, then Steve at IBP industries is the best choice unless you can get it directly from Prevost. The bottom panels are about $375-500 and the top panels are about $1200-1500.
