Title: Another Latch Issue
Post by: Toorusty on July 13, 2023, 08:05:09 pm

The latch pictured is one of two on a compartment of my 2015 2910D. The other one disintegrated and now I have a hole about the size of a tennis ball in my compartment. I contacted Dave at PC and he says the latch is obsolete and has no recommendations on what to do with the hole in my compartment. Anybody have a source for a latch that will work.

  Perhaps a local locksmith?

Any chance there any markings, part number etc.. Then possibly look into contacting rv salvage yards with any info and pictures.  Not much help I know but maybe a possibility.  I’ve had some luck with finding  obscure parts over the years doing this.

It's a Southco but according to PC they don't make them anymore.  I went to the Southco website and didn't see anything that would work. PC sent me the ones they use now and they are way too big. I'm not happy that PC can't provide service for an eight year old coach.

You might get lucky and find a new old stock part at Recpro , Etrailer, or eBay.
