I don't know one place that sells everything. Browse the internet for your needs and shop for the best prices. Include the shipping and handling costs. You'll find most complete LQs will involve several sources, each one specialising in various items.
You will need electrical, lighting, heating, (water and environmental), appliances, ac unit, water pump, lines and related plumbing fixtures, an escape hatch/window, waste and storage tanks and construction materials. To that list, you can add radio, TV and sound system, an awning, and exterior lights if you choose. You will need cabinets, various safety detectors, a gas system (tank and related plumbing) and two fire extinguishers.
It's a long list, and again I don't know of a single supplier that can fill it. BOL

I am in the process of renovating my LQ. The best place(s) for my needs have been craigslist, adventurerv.net, jazzsales.com, and horsetraileraccessorystore.com.Menards is a great source for supplies. Lowes/Home Depot/Wal-Mart also have easy local access to many needed parts and supplies from plumbing, to flooring, to cabinets, wall board, insulation, etc. Good luck.

I have found a ton of parts at PPL Trailer, and Jazzsales (google them) I too have had quite a bit of success on Craigslist for some of the parts. There are a lot of people that have RVs and Trailers that have been wrecked that they are parting out. On a similar note, if you need Refrigerator Vents, a large sliding window or PEX plumbing pipe I have all of them left over from my build.Sean
