Air conditioner shroud

I just bought a 2013 Trail Runner 16RB. The previous owner removed and reinstalled the Danby window air conditioner. In doing so, he damaged the outer air conditioner shroud. This is the shroud that mounts to the siding on the wall on the exterior over the AC. I am trying to locate a new one or a used one that is I good condition.
Thank you, Mike

Enlighten me on what a "Danby" window A/C is. You coach does not have a roof mounted A/C unit? If it is a HL A/C unit...call HL service, have your VIN# handy and a pix of what you want to email to them.

Hi Bob, thanks for the reply. No this is a smaller travel trailer and does not have roof air. This one mounts through the side wall and is just a 5000 btu window air unit and is located between the cabinet over the sink and the cabinet over kitchen table. I have looked another popular brand travel trailer and has same exact shroud. This must be universal shroud used by most all the manufactures.

I'm guessing the A/C was installed by the previous owner and not by Heartland. A quick search shows Danby air conditioners are sold at Home Depot.

Here is the Danby site; http://www.danby.com/en/US/our_products/air_conditioners Trace

It was installed by Heartland. These smaller travel trailers came with wall air just like the Starcraft AR ones did. Just so happens I got a call from a parts manager I had talked to about this. He found one at Keystone RV's. Come to find out, it is a universal part used by several of the RV manufacters. They called and said it was in, so eagerly I drove there and opened the box. It was the right part, just the wrong size. They sent me one for a 8000 btu unit, which is to big. I need one for a 5000 btu unit. So they've got one coming and hopefully the right size. Just goes to show to never give up. I knew there had to be one out there somewhere, just have talk to the right person. Thank you all for your imput. I'll let you know if I finally get the right one.

PS. Even they don't know for sure what it's called. They think it's called a AC garnish molding.
