Parts for older pop ups

Does anyone know a good source for parts for older popups?  I've got an 86 Palomino that is functional, but has a lot of the original parts that are just worn out.  Right now, I'm trying to find a new diaphragm pump faucet.  Or at least a new diaphragm for it.  But I also see other things on there that I'd like to replace eventually.

We've got an 87 Palomino and you can still get some of the parts from them. I just had to replace a lift arm. They are very helpful. Many of these parts you can find replacements for at an RV dealer. Try Palomino 1st and then go from there.

Did you replace the whole lift arm or the springs and cable?  Palomino was helpful in giving me information on getting replacement parts for the lift arms.   The guy I talked to about the lift arms was very helpful, I think.  When I told him about my problem, he said I only needed to replace springs and cables.  Hopefully its as easy as he said.  Anyone have any experience replacing them?

Our TXL does not use cables, just the lift arms and springs. The springs are easy to replace with the camper up.

I'm also looking for a fuse (15A) for the converter.  I noticed it is missing, but I don't know what type it is.  I tried looking at Camping World, but all they had were standard automobile types.  Based on the empty opening, this one looks like it would be long or go into some type of holder.  

Also, when I plugged 110V AC power into the camper, the outlets all worked, but the overhead lights didn't.  It looks like they're wired into the DC exterior lights (brake lights, etc).  I was wondering if the missing fuse is the cause of this issue, but I don't understand how the 110V outlets are working if the fuse is missing.  

Oh, yeah, in case anyone is wondering, I do not have the owners manual.  Hence all the questions.

My camper has two fuses. One is for my lights and the other is for my outlets.
Mine uses the same fuses as cars. I hope this helps you some.
