Compartment door latch
On our way home from our last trip last fall the door to the compartment that holds the propane tank on the driver’s side of our fifth wheel came open while going down the road. Instead of fixing it over the winter I forgot about it. Last weekend while setting up at camp I noticed that the top latch on that same door was about half turned. While talking to my brother-in-law yesterday I mentioned it to him and that I was thinking of replacing the ( twist) latch with a lock. He suggested to take it apart and move the blade 90 degrees so that gravity and road vibrations would pull it closed instead of open. To which I’ve done this evening. It’ll be 8-10 weeks before we can go out again because of work obligations, to test it out and see if it works. But worth a try for the price. Does anybody else have any experiences, recommendations, or tips?
