Does anyone know of an address for Ron since he changed jobs at the end of November. I placed an order for some parts in November and haven't heard from him. I have called the number on our repair list and the man that answers doesn't know what Ron is doing now.

Mills Coach Armor is out of business almost a year ago. I went through Junction City in August looking for some coach armor parts and the only thing I found was CC Parts had a junk box of misc hardware items I was able to match up two of four things I needed.
No one knew any info on the where abouts of Ron or any of the left over material that Mills Mfg had. There is another business in the building and they know nothing. If you find a source, please share the info.

There is a another company making the coach armor. The body shop at Buddy Gregg in Knoxville had to find it for my coach when a spare trailer tire went through the front our coach last winter. Unfortunately my coach is stored 80 miles away, but I will pick it up on Tuesday, and if you like will send you the name of the new company.

CC parts told me about the other company as well. Not sure if it is the same one. I do not have my notebook from the coach were I have it written down.

The problem is, as I was told by CC, the new company has none of the records on what was installed on the coaches by the coach armor serial number. So, trying to match the Lexan standoffs to what I need is almost impossible without a manufacturer's drawing or driving to their shop and let them custom make them to fit. I also need a stainless wind deflector for one of the edges.

Has anyone successfully obtained replacement parts from the new manufacturer?

My replacement armor included some new standoffs, but I think that Buddy Gregg used some of the originals ones as well. The replacement is a little bit thicker and the chrome strips on the center top and bottome center will not fit, but the chrome strips on the sides were ok.

The plastic shields that were used on coaches before they started using 3M clear vinyl.
