I've seen both of these posted and now I can't find them.

First, someone posted a source for the 10 watt halogen ceiling bulbs, as I remember you had to buy at least 25 but they were only about $1.50 each.

Second, who is the manufacturer of the plastic latch on the door that the air latch engages when you release the parking brake? Dometic apparently broke mine test driving it trying to fix the reefer.

TIA

That wasn't the thread I was thinking about Dirk. I'm not sure if the company it talks about, PTL Engineering Inc., is the manufacturer of the wedge I need or just the door hold open mechanism. I found their website but it is under construction and there is no information there at all.

Thanks dude, I'll call them on Monday. I wish I'd noticed it earlier than the day before I left for a Thanksgiving trip across country. My door is rattling and has lots of wind noise.

I should send the bill to Dometic.
