Any one have this problem?
My Screen Door latch keeps snagging and breaking off.
I have replaced it 2xs .
I don't know if door is out of wack or what.
When it breaks you are locked out and have to enter through the Cab door if unlocked.


Several are available on line but do not fit
The only ones that fit were ordered from Lichtsinn RV and if you give vin# you will get the exact replacement.
If you are a WIT member you get 10% off.

Charlie, I feel your pain & frustration. I worked on mine several times in order to get everything to work right. It is a delicate balance to adjust all of the screen door/main door/jamb latches correctly so that it all works as it should. Too much engagement on one affects the other. Might have to get the file out and do some modifications. Good luck.

I will be more careful with this next one as the costs do add up. But thanks for the good advice. I plan to snowbird at Palm Desert and want to have this fixed B4 I go.

That door latch is one of the worst engineering solutions I have ever seen. Broke our first one in less than a week. So far, with care the 2nd one has made it longer but I don't expect it to once the kids go camping with us
