Latch

[deecheff]

Hello everyone!
I’m looking for a latch for my Murphy bed in my 2021 Forest River R-Pod 192. I have contacted the RV place where I bought it but I haven’t heard back from them as of yet. Any suggestions? I found a few online but they aren’t like the one I already have.

Well it should not be hard to make one like the one in the photo. it's nothing more than a bent rod with a spring either pin or pinched point and washer (I'd use a pin or cotter key myself) and bracket

A temp sub would be any of the many (And often less expensive) varations on this theme

The second one is almost exactly the one shown (Different handle)

Have you tried calling Forest River? Sometimes dealers don't wan to be bothered after the sale.

Emails to Forest river will probably never be answered. They seldom even return phone calls.
Don't ask how I know.
