Depends on the fequency, but perhaps someone does something that matches yours. ;D

I have no idea what the frequency of the original key fobs are. I have a frequency counter in the shop and could test ours, but we're on the road.
I had a replacement system picked out several months ago, but I forgot which one it was ::)
John Canfield:
I'm going to make this a sticky since we seem to have quite a bit of interest in either retrofitting electric locks to newer models, or replacement of the orphaned SCS/Fridgette remote entry system.
Pretty certain this is the new remote entry system, and if you click on the product tabs, you will find the bay door handles, power actuators, etc.
Here's the data sheet on the power actuator.
Here's another replacement system I was considering.
SargeW:
John, would those work for bay doors, or are just entry door actuators?
John Canfield:
Marty - the link (in my above post) to the actuator is what's used on the bay doors, and might be used on the entry door as well. I've attached a couple of pictures of my bay door actuators - one vertically opening bay door and one is a horizontal bay door.
Take a look at the back of your lock mechanism - I think you will have a plastic cover that's removable. Compare it to my pictures. I think your outside handle is different and would need to be replaced, not sure about the mechanical linkage. You would need to fabricate (or buy from Winnebago) the mounting plate for the actuator and fab or buy the linkage from the actuator to the latch mechanism.
Let us know what you find.
bobsharon:
Both actuators look like the ones listed in John's post above. Two wire version. If you can replace the controller, keypads, existing actuators should work. :)
