Did your blowout do structural damage to the wheel well inner structure, or just chew up the skirting around it? If the damage was limited to the skirting, you may be able to repair it if there aren’t big chunks missing (if J&R can’t supply a replacement).
I’ve repaired a number of cracks in the skirting on our 2307C (as well as fabricated a new access door for the black & gray water tank drain hookup and valves) using solvent cement for acrylic plastics and sheet ABS for reinforcements behind the cracked areas. I use SCIGRIP #4 fast set clear water thin (4 oz can, applied with a syringe) and # 16 fast set medium body (1.5 oz tube) solvent cement purchased at the local TAP Plastics shop – the sheet ABS comes from a big bin where they sell small leftover pieces of various types of plastic stock.
If done properly, repairs are very durable – if glued joints are clamped for a few hours and allowed to cure overnight, the repaired area should bee at least as strong as the surrounding material
