Is that a cover, how is handle attached?
Not not able to get a 3d printed one you might find someghing on olearys or coastal caravans

It doesn’t look very broken can you highlight the damage

I would think that the OP's photo is from a photo of another van with a non-broken handle for reference.

The reason I asked is we had what might have been a similar experience on ours

Our handle screws through plastic covers which was the bit that broke on ours not the actual handle

Terry gave us a temporary solution by leaving out the broken plastic cover and we haven’t really missed it for about 7 years now

Edit - just spotted my reflection, that’s what it is I haven’t had it wrapped

That's after I put it back on. It looks like it has broken before it was full of clue.

I will post more pictures when I get back to the mh

If a new one cannot be found then I would suggest 3d printing one but with stronger in fills

Hi
I could probably make one for you. Can you let me know the length of the pull handle. Also, is that only part of the handle. Is their another section that’s not in the photo.

Cheers PaulandChrissy

If you don’t have any luck an easy repair would be to glue the parts back together with superglue or similar to reform the handle shape then cut three pieces of something like coat hanger wire to lay the full length of the handle from screw hole to screw hole bending slightly if the handle is curved then mix up some fibreglass resin and the pour in the handle recessed part of the handle covering the wires, once set this will reinforce it permanently.

It has been glued before.

It has been glued before.

Yes I saw that, but with this way the existing plastic is only a mould for the reinforced plastic resin, similar to a reinforced concrete beam but on a very much smaller scale, but if you can get another printed all
