Taking a left turn and "crash" from back of Moho....

Anyway...

I've had this problem in the past - made my own - one from a small block of plastic, one from a piece of sheet metal.
Cheapskate? Me?

I've looked everywhere, as that looks familiar to me. Damned if I can find any though

Replaced all the plastic keeps on last van with keeps similar to the metal ones from caravan accessory shop. Bit made mine out of aluminium angle.

Agreed, that looks like the one. Well spotted

 

[mitzimad]

is it a roller catch as it looks like the ones magnums sell

got fed up replacing the rubbish plastic catches on a previous van so made replacements from aluminium angle. 10 minutes with a vice, hacksaw, drill and file. never had an aluminium copy fail

Hold ya horses - I had those same fitments fitted on our Autocruise Rythm (bathroom door) i bought about 15 of them from Spinney Motorhomes, I am not 100% sure but i may still have them. If i can find them i will pm you

 

[Kool Kroozer]

Just been and had a qiuck look but am unable to find the bloody things, it was only a couple of weeks ago i seen them in a clear plastic zip bag, typical when you your looking for something you can never bloody find it, but the ones in the link that are 75p are the correct ones, i bought so many as the original broke so easily i thought i would stock up as they were so cheap, but the first one i fitted was the only one i ever fitted lol - no more ever broke.

@Fletton,
You'll probably get one at Magnum Motorhomes in Grimsby.
A real Alladin's cave.

I've looked on their Website today but couldn't find anything like...

However, I'm off back to Grimsby (home town) on Tues for a few days or so... to do some finishing off from re-furb work that my younger brother has done to our Nephews' newly bought gaff in Scartho...

So will pop in and ask... before ordering from Web..

Edit: have been there a few times... I think i bought my hose there..

Well i have turned my garage upside down in the past hour an half looking for these catches and cannot find the bloody things anywhere, the garage is nice an tidy now though I know when i seen them recently i debated "should i keep em or bin em" but my memory just of late is i cant remember what decision i come to - so i am none the wiser if they are still in there hiding somewhere i have not thought about looking or if i put them in the bin - so sorry but i have had a good look for you mate - i will bookmark this post just incase they turn up - your more than welcome to have the lot of them as i have no need for them - KK

I knew it! I KNEW IT!!!

Just like my hubby when he was looking for something they other day ... oh yes I checked the pile of stuff on table and it's not there says he ... hmmmm ... after we'd searched high and low I had a look on the same table and lo and behold I found what we'd wasted ages looking for .... !
