Warrior91 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) OK guy's I have made it easy for you - pictures!! I'm talking about the little clip that holds the door shut - missing from photo 1 and 2 but inserted in photo three and four. I just need to know where to find this little guy. Thanks.

jjrbus Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 You are looking for RV door latch for thin panel walls. I am not recommending this place to buy, just using for example..... I can't find where I bought from..... http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/2-pk-jr-products-door-latch-for-thin-panel-walls?a=754267 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVdaytrader Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Jim...I just checked that site, was going to get them...but they want 3.99 to ship what could go in a 49 Cent stamped envelope!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjrbus Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Tics me off. I want some bead welt molding the product is $14.99 and shipping is $12.80. So I pulled the old molding off and reused it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that you can't put them into a 49 cent stamped envelope (which is now only 47 cents as the price went down recently). The post office just did a dirty rotten thing a few months back and raised the rates on first class packages and then got rid of the lower cost parcel post rates so now anything over one ounce that is not a document and is more than 1/4" thick cost me $2.80 cents in postage to ship for up to 9 ounces in weight. Which goes a ways to explain why that person is charging so much. I just had to buy some small bubble mailers and in order to get them at a reasonable price of about 25 cents each I had to buy 200 of them. So that means I have to charge my customers over $3.00 just to cover my cost for shipping on any items that stack up to more than 1/4" thick and the cost of the package to ship it in. But that does not include the cost of shipping labels or of course labor. So now does that price of $3.99 start to make some sense to you? Under the present cost from USPS to the sellers circumstances that was not particularly unreasonable shipping charges to you. It is not the seller who is at fault in this, it is the post office who just made things impossible for business people to be able to be able to offer reasonably priced shipping on small, odd shaped objects even if they don't weigh much. Last year it could have been shipped for a lot less but not now with the rate changes in place. So get used to it, this is not going to go away.

Homer Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) I found one for mine on a commercial fluorescent Light that holds the metal covers over the ballast. Electric Supply's house or big box stores would probably have them ? Mine cost $0.00 , cheap enough. They surely wouldn't cost $3.99 + S.H.. If you know an electrician, ask them, they might even give you one. The pictures show the size and it inserted in the slot. They won't break like the plastic ones do. You can go to the other ToyotaCamper yahoogroup site and see some of the mods I have done plus the below pictures .https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/toyota-campers/photos/albums Look in the 86 Sun Land Express album. homer Edited April 28, 2016 by Homer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
