Where to buy rubber strip?

[audioflyer79]

Hello!
Any idea where I can buy replacement rubber trim strip insert for the transition between the flooring and the steps? Mine has always been too short, and the gaps collect dirt and look bad. But searching all of the usual RV parts places haven't turned up anything. It is 1" wide. Thanks.

I am not aware of where to purchase them but had the same issue on my previous 5th wheel and what I discovered is that I could remove it, clean it, and use a hot air hair dryer to heat it and then stretch it back and then reinstall it. It would still shrink back though but it would take maybe a year or more to do so. I suspect yours wasn't too short when first installed at the factory (perhaps it was) and instead just shrank over time. ~CA

Hey man, just faced the same problem and I used your suggestion regarding heating it up. Worked like a charm. Thank you for posting this fix. I did use a heat gun as I have a cordless one, worked none the less. And I didn't have to face the wrath of the wife for using her dyson blow torch.
