help finding caravan door latch man


I was In Longreach over the school ho0lidays and broke the latch to our van. I saw a notice on the park board regarding Alloy replacement handles. I did ring the guy to find he was then in Charters Towers. Have subsiquently lost his number.

Does anybody happen to know of this chap or his contact number???

Can get plastic replacement handle but want the alloy one.

Welcome to the forum Dave.
If all else fails, try the manufactureres of your caravan, often the fittings are specific to each type of van. We had a couple of parts mailed to us from Melbourne, all fixed!

Saw signs in some free camp toilet blocks - but didn't get the number - last one I saw it in was Rollingstone.

Why don't you contact the caravan park where you saw the sign, they should be able to have a look and let you know the number.

Thanks did that first and you guesed it, it had been taken down!!!.

Camec has the replacement plastic handle at $33, but would prefer the alloy one.

So if anybody else see's the sign or knows of the fellow please reply.

Counting down the days till we are on the road!!

Happy traveling

Dave

Where are you heading?
If you're going towards Cairns there's a caravan repairer there who helped me out with door handle, front boot handle and other bits and pieces.
I had heard bad things about his charges, but I found him to be friendly helpful and reasonably prices.
Good luck.

Door handle assembly on my Jacyo failed in the alloy slide mechanism in the guts of the device.  Had to replace entire unit at cost of $99 from caravan sales mob at Mandaruh WA.
