Hi y'all - I figured this would be a good information source for my trailer questions. I'm needing to replace the black rubber seal around some of my windows - do I need to get this at a trailer parts place, or can I get this at an auto parts or hardware store? Thanks a lot for your help!

Typically, this trim is made by a Co. called "Trim-Lok". I've never seen anything like it in the auto or hardware world. But if there's not a horse trailer place close by, might try a RV shop. They use it too.

Ya think? Yeah, I kinda figured that; what I was asking was if anyone had a favorite, or particular website they had ordered this from that was maybe less expensive, and easy to deal with. Never mind, I can find it, believe it or not. Thanks. Oh and farmbabe, it's "an" RV dealer, not "a" RV dealer.

Sorry JR, but Farmbabe is correct in her grammar as "an" comes before a word beginning with a vowel and "a" comes before words beginning, oh well you know what I mean...................

They must teach different English in the land of ice & snow. It's an "a" before a consonant & "an" before a vowel UNLESS the word is phonically pronounced as a vowel in the beginning syllable. Such as "an honor" not " a honor". Or give me "an R" not "a R". But then, they say up north that we southerners murder the English language. But you know, I still love the sound of y'all instead of "Geez youse guys".

OK, English is the language we speak. Even though I am originally from Arkansas and say Y'all, I still speak English just like my Minnesotian friends who live in a 'hose.' Grammer is the system and structure of a language and that is where we differ. Most grammer style books state that you use a/an to match the way an acronym is pronounced, not how it is spelled. The above writer is correct that it is "an honor" because honor is pronounced with a vowel sound. However, it may be standard "speak" to say "an R" but it remains incorrect grammar. History is another word this might apply to. Most writers and editors would write "a historical event" as proper grammar, but most people would speak "an historical event." While we all speak English, seldom do people speak with perfect grammar.
