jb50hb Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I would appreciate it if someone on the Forum could tell me who provided the entry door light fixture on the Dolphin or SeaBreeze motor-homes The fixtire had a plastic piece which covered the light bulb at the top of the fixture. The plastic snapped into the fixture and was easily broken with age and exposure to the elements. Actually, my fixture is okay and a just want to find a source for the plastic part Thanks very much Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones they sell on eBay or Amazon will Not fit the older unit! Have to fabricate one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopezg273 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I hate that I'm giving you this advice because I generally don't like to go to RV repair places; they are EXPENSIVE, but in this case... I had my 1990 Dolphin worked on, and my light fixture/grab handle looks exactly like yours and all I needed was the light lens (not the entire thing). It's just a cover that snaps on. The RV place got me one for $12, I don't know where they got it, and then wanted to charge .25 hours to "install it" (pop it in in one second). I'm sure you can just have them order it for you, so maybe that's an option..? Just call an RV place nearby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 AtlantaCamper it is so strange that you have the old style handle. Sunrader starting using the one with no screw in 85 or 86 and I have never seen an old style on anything newer. Is it possible a previous owner replaced it at some time? I know some people have cut a new lens from a milk jug that worked well. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 If I had (and knew how to use) a 3-D printer, I'd set up a cottage industry making the old style covers. "... a new lens from a milk jug that worked well." Might functionally work well, but still looks like a cut up milk jug. I've seen more pleasing looking results with a trimmed down interior light lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaCamper Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 29 minutes ago, linda s said: so strange that you have the old style handle Yea, I thought the same thing after reading about the type most others have. I don't see any indication that it was replaced, but who knows. I like your idea of using a milk jug or similar. I'll cut out a piece of plastic from something like that with a kind-of-similar pre-molded shape and screw it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I'm not sure if these more modern (and expensive) ones are available in North America. https://rvmagic.co.nz/product/camec-led-grab-handle-chrome-black-or-white-with-blue-night-light-function/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is mine in it's current condition: I bought the one listed on eBay and installed it on Grannie before I sold her to Ben. Expensive but Very Nice. Uses the snap in lens.
