I am tiring to find something like a Shur Latch, But it is smaller. It fits in a 2 inch hole, and has a 1/2 moon latch.
Does anyone know of a source?


Thanks

I bought mine from Camping World. They were discounted. I bought the bulldog catches on E-Bay for $5 for 10 of them. Im sure some one has a different place to get them im not on my home computer or i would have a link for you. Welcome to the forum. What part of the country are you located? For hard to find parts call Jim K.
By the Way AVION rocks.

Camping world is easiest place. Where is your location, add it to your signature line. There may be closer places. Seems to be a common item, hanging on the wall.

Phil,

The nearest to you in March is the international at Dothan.

Go to http://www.gmcmi.com to read more about it. If you can make it, even for part of the time, it will worth your while to do so. It is like 500+ miles from Lexinton, NC.

And yes, the email people don't get the header that has your location.

Matt

Jim,

I just checked Applied GMC and found this Cabinet Hinge:

http://www.appliedgmc.com/prod.itml/icOid/1114

As you know I also have an Avion and what Phillip is looking for is a round brown plastic latch that secures the doors that provide
access to the storage area under the passenger side bed and the water heater under the driver side bed.

They are rarer than rocking horse poo! I searched the Internet and found the patent for them which listed the company that made them
and from there the trail died out.

John Richardson had a couple of them at Amana and I bought them.

Regards,
Rob M.
