I just got last weekend a 1975 20ft. It has been in my wife's family its whole life. So I know pretty much the history of it and also how well it has been taken care of. It does need a new door handle. The original broke last year. Not the lighted handle but the actual door latch/knob. Anybody have one? Oh and this is a very nice site. Thank you for all the effort put into it

Thanks for interior pics, looks in good shape. Mine has twin beds, dinette, but no couch.

Yeah it is super clean and very well taken care of. I have been camping in it a lot of times over the years with my uncle and he went and got himself an Alaskan camper and sold this to me. I am really excited as is my wife and kids.

What a beauty! I have a 19 footer. I could use that extra foot. I also like the dash layout. My instruments are hard to read. Is that a pullout/foldout sofa bed? Would it be possible to find out the brand?

Thanks...Read Smith

Oh... I forgot. I replaced the Bargman style door handle/lock on mine but I believe the original is perfectly functional...let me know.

It is a pullout sofa bed. can not find a tag or any identifying labels on it though. Sorry.

On my original door handle the flat latch on the outside broke. So right now there is just an empty hole in the door. So if I can find a replacement that would be great!!

That is perfect. Looks just like mine, without the broken handle. What will it take for me to get that from you? Thank you!!!!!

It is possible the original was broken by a break in attempt when the inside lock was activated by a hard door slam. Mine did that to me a couple of times, so I glued it in the unlocked position with a dab of Shoe Goo on the underside of the plunger where it meets the hole.

We rely on the double cylinder deadbolt to lock the door.

Yeah before I had it my uncle already took the lock in it out and only use the dead bolt to lock the door also. I don't know how exactly it broke but I sorta think it was him. If I am able to get this other one from Reado I will do the same to that one also to prevent locking myself out. Thanks for the info

Exactly what I did too. Not a real big fan of this style handle for that reason.
