Jim – I had the same ‘latch’ break. I went to our local dealer & they ordered me one from Fleetwood.

I have an issue that I need to resolve. The amber lens cover for the porch light has faded & is becoming brittle. Yes, we store our MH outside. A few years ago, when this happened, we were able to order ‘just’ the replacement lens. Now, I’m told that they are no longer available & I would have to buy the complete light fixture in order to get the lens cover.

We also have used MH all winter & the main reason we don’t winterize. We’ve made 2 trips in Nov.; 2 in Dec.; 1 in Jan.; 1 in Feb. & have one planned this month. Then, we have to put other travel plans on hold for ‘hopefully’ a very short time while DH recovers from radical prostatectomy (Prostate Cancer). It’s in the early stage & contained within the prostate. The outcome is promising!!
Keep us in your prayers!!

Thanks, I'll certainly give that route a shot!
I'm in the same situation with the lense. I had to replace the bulb a few weeks ago, and found that the lense has started to decay on the very top, right where it would be the hotest, and have the most moisture dripping on it...lol
Seems silly that we'd have to buy the fixture just to get a $.15 lense.
I took a different approach to winterizing this year. I think I posted it elsewhere, but essentially, I drained my fresh water tank, and then disconnected the pump from it. I placed a 38gal clear plastic tote like you see in wally world or lowes in the belly pan to the left of the stairs, where my pump is located. I then ran a piece of hose into the "tub", and put about 10gals of rv antifreeze in the tub. Bypassed the water heater, and then winterized as normal, opening all the taps until they flowed pink.
When that was done, I added about 10gals of water to the tote, and we continue to use it to flush the toilet with. This has the advantage of also pumping antifreeze into the black tank every time we flush, so no worries about freezing up. Each time I replenish the tote, I do it with about a 50/50 mix, and it's held up fine.

Good luck with the recovery!...medicine has made some very significant advancements in this area, and I'm glad it was discovered early!
