Looking for recommendations on where to get new fender skirts for a 2012 cougar Highcountry fifth wheel I want to say the color is like a bronze. Thanks in advance for any replies.

If you want a perfect match: icondirect.com, a Canadian company. (Awaiting a shipment from them as we speak.) Pricey, but excellent quality, I used them on my last rig.
If a close match at half that price will do: recpro.com. (You can always paint the color.)
I recommend taking an existing skirt off and laying it face down on a tiled floor to get the best measurements to match. The measurements I took off the rig were all close but no cigar. When I removed it and gridded it on the tile, it exactly matched an icondirect part.

I bought a set of fender skirts on eBay; measured and then installed. You can paint them any color you like:

A lot of those listings are icondirect's (Icon Technologies).

But shipping was high, I ended up going to local RV dealer and ordering through them. Saved me $80 in shipping.

I would not worry about the actual color, just make sure the actual fender is a match. They are made of vinyl and you can easily spray paint them any color you want before installing them. If you use Rust-o-lium Professional on the plastics or vinyl of your camper, it will last for years and years.
I spray painted with Rust-o-lium Professional (Black) the propane tank cover on my previous travel trailer (an Outback) after the tank cover started fading real bad. It looked awful after only 1 year. After spray painting, the cover still looked new 4 years later when we traded the camper.
Before, (unbelievable .... when the camper was new)
After, a year later, when I spray painted it with Black. It held for 4 more years and looked just as good as when it was first painted:
If the color of your new fender does not match, Black is the universal color that will match with anything. Regardless of any other colors, a black fender will not look odd.
Um... and yes ... in those photos, the trailer originally came with a hand crank front jack. It was quickly swapped out for an electric one.
Good luck.

Wow... from that photo it looks like a perfect factory custom matching gray! I would have just 303-Aerospaced it and flaunted it!

My skirts just started to self destruct on the last trip. I will be shopping for some soon.

That photo was taken when the camper was still brand new. After a year two things happened. The tank cover started fading and miss-matching and got blotchy spots. And the front cap got blotchy spots. I spray painted the tank cover and had Keystone repaint the front cap. Keystone paid for an automotive paint, but I had to pay to replace the graphics, since there was nothing wrong with the graphics.
The front cap and the tank cover looked incredible after 4 more years.
Photo after the front cap repaint.

You mean, other than being under the new paint?

Have you got pics and measurements? I've got a brand new fender skirt NIB never opened for a 2014 Cougar High Country 319RLS. It was a TT but the fender might work (you have to cut them if in 2 pieces). The OE fenders were sort of a bronze color. You can have it if you pay the shipping.

Curious if you still have this (if JAdank did not take you up on your offer) and would sell it to me? I am looking for one for my 2014 Cougar High Country TT. I'm not sure of the "319RLS" for mine and I'm not home right now but can check later. Pretty sure it's not the same as mine is a bunk house, but maybe same fender?
