Driver side skirt/step replacement options?
One of the previous owners got cozy with a solid object and ruined the rear portion of the fiberglass skirt, namely the rear portion of the wheel well flare and just forward of it on the skirt itself. Has anyone replaced one of these, if so where did you source it?

Re: Driver side skirt/step replacement options?
I don't know about a replacement for the skirt, but it always surprised me how much a fiberglass guy could do for my boat, fixing damage I wouldn't have thought possible, without necessarily spending an arm and a leg. Might be worth tracking someone down to find out.

Re: Driver side skirt/step replacement options?
I decided to remove mine for quite a few reasons but mostly for easier access to the propane connection. I'll hold on to them for anyone who would like them. They need some paint but the fiberglass is in good shape. There is a cut out for the gen exhaust on the driver's side. I'm not sure if that was done factory or after?
Just let me know!

FoCoKCCO,
If you don't mind, please, post some photos of you rig with the skirts removed. I've been wondering how that would look...

Re: Driver side skirt/step replacement options?
The only thing that looks odd is the propane system is just hanging out there for all to see but overall I like it better without the skirts. It takes a bit more to step up inside also, of course. I was just planning on using a portable step when camped out.

FoCoKCCO,
Thank you for posting the skirtless photos. I agree... the B190 looks fine either way.

Re: Driver side skirt/step replacement options?
I decided to remove them too, going to have some offroad style sliders instead. I concur that it looks fine either way, just a little odd with the LP system hanging out. I was looking around to see if there is any way to get it up higher in the frame cavity but it does not appear to be an option. Probably a question for the other heading but do LP tanks have to be round?

Re: Driver side skirt/step replacement options?
I always considered removing mine and replacing them with running boards instead. Never got around to doing it, though.
