So I am missing the lever to lock the door from the inside. I took a picture of my buddies camper, and the red lever is what I am missing. Can I get that somewhere, if so can you point me to where? If not can I just replace the entire locking mechanism, and if so can you point me to where? Thanks

Maybe pull your buddies off, and take a look see what it entails. I agree with IBTripping, probably will need a full replacement. You 'might' luck out stopping at a local RV service shop. Sometimes stuff in the back storeroom is not easily found by end users on the internet.
 
I usually look at these things as, "If I can find the maker's name and code I can go directly to their site and look for parts. If not available it's time to replace the whole thing."

I have a lot of that with my 25 year old coach.

Yeah it's frustrating to look for a $10 part and then have to spend $40 for a whole lockset but that's my world - 🙄
 
Pull it off and see if there’s a way to fabricate something if you don’t want to replace the whole mechanism.
 
Ok so the one I took the picture of that is my friends doesn't appear to be the same as what I have installed, or maybe lightly smaller. Would you think this one is different? If so, ideas on what I am looking for?

I replaced that lock mechanism on my door last year and I think I saved the old one. Let me look through my spare parts bin under the bed and if I've got it I'll mail it to you.
 
If JayArr can’t find his, I have the complete unit I replaced on our trailer after someone used a screw driver and destroyed both key holes trying to break into our trailer. Let me know how you make out…..
 
Mine broke a number of years ago while we were at the Quartzsite Rally. I went down the strip and found an exact replacement, but I can't remember if it was new or used. It lasted until we sold the RV. Si, try a dealer, or a junk yard if there is one nearby.
