I have looked all over the internet for this kind of product but cannot find one. Does anybody know where I can get one of these besides a fleetwood dealer?

While they look good in the picture.
My friend has one in her camper and she thinks they are more trouble than their worth.
I had one in my first trailer it wasn't attached to the roof but hung from screw eyes, I left it home.
Maybe one of those trailer salvage yards would have them?
I didn't mean to be so negative sorry.

Marco, I used mine all the time and the only complaint I have is the mirror, but them I'm not really too concerned with my looks while camping  Plus they come very handy as a supplemental roof support if you lower the roof with it still in place 
I've only seen them on the Fleetwood site... but you might want to consider building something similar yourself and then you may become a rich person by selling them on the Internet

We agree that they are more trouble than they are worth. The shelves are hard to use because of a ridge on them. We keep all our small items in a plastic box with a lid, which makes them easier to store when we travel and don't have to repack them.
Be Blessed!

I like mine, purchased it seperately, but instead of placing it in the bathroom area where it looks like the picture, I had mine place in front of the sink in my 98 Grandview SP. Ridges in the shelf can be a PITA sometimes, but it is great to have things off the counter and stove.
Good luck,
ALso look on ebay, first check under vanity mate or start with something else to look for like the camper caddie and then you should find a someone who might reference other coleman products and find it.

I have made a few purchases from this Fleetwood dealer this past week. Here is a Vanity Mate!
My GTE Niagara came with the Decor package. The Vanity Mate was installed right over the sink in a very logical placement. We use ours. Frankly, I can't imagine our PopUp without it! The fun-house mirror can be easily replaced with a piece of tempered glass mirror if it really bothers.

I have one that came with our Hemlock...but was never mounted on the ceiling. I got a couple of over the door hooks and hang it on the hardside bathroom wall over the toilet. It's great for holding toothpaste/brushes/hairbrushes/hairclips/mouthwash and in that place it keeps all those things out of the way yet right at hand. Don't know if I'd buy one if I didn't have one though.

My Vanity Mate is just like Beachers. We use it every trip. It is a good place to store small bottles of soap and such over the galley where they are needed.

We use our vanity mate every trip. I find it convenient as a place to put my keys, glasses, watch, change..... ohh yea... little bottles of soap, and things like that. The mirror does distort things a little, but geesh, I'm camping. I have thought about replacing it with a real mirror as beacher mentioned. The paper towel rack is really handy too.
Life is not a problem to be solved, it is an adventure to be lived.

I would also suggest E-Bay if you really want one.
My DH built me the one below...and it holds a lot more than just our 'vanity' stuff. I prop a large-hand held mirror on the shelf when I need to primp...then store it in a drawer to get it out of the way. We keep our toothbrushes (with those cover caps on the ends) in the small basket shown in that photo..also the toothpaste. As for hair brushes..I keep that in a drawer out of the way.
See photo below:
If I had one of those shelves that came with the PUP...I would used those tiny shelves for spices and have it near my sink/stove area. It looks like (from the photo) that everything would easily topple over off those tiny shelves. I would not want my hair brush stored near the stove/cooking area anyhow.
HAPPY CAMPING!!
