Broken Velvac driver side mirror

Need a replacement Velvac driver side mirror for white 2004 BF RV. The replacements cost > $500 from Velvac. Used, for a better price, would suit me just fine. Any ideas where to find one?

Here is one on eBay for $350 plus $60 shipping:

If you have the old mirror, you might try repairing it as this Born Free owner did at substantially less cost than buying a new one:

And if you have lots of time to research, here is a comprehensive list of sources for RV salvage parts I found on the web:

One thing to keep in mind when shopping for a replacement mirror is the length of the support arm. We discovered thart little fact when we had to replace the left mirror in our 2004 BFT. The mirror that was sent to was for a 24 to 26 Born Free and the support arm was too long for the BFT.

Forgot to mention it, and the one place I always go to first for help with Born Free issues, is to give Kim Olson in Customer Service at the Born Free factory (800-247-1835 or customer.service@dodgen-bornfree.com) to see if he can help. If he can't help you out himself, he will point you in the right direction.
