1980 Allegro m30. One of the door handles broke, the one you open the roadside door on. Is this replaceable, where would I find old RV parts for my girl?

A photo, part number, or manufacturer of the door latch would help us help you.

Is there a set screw holding the handle on the shaft? It shouldn't be too hard to find a replacement. Remove the door handle, then the two screws to remove the inner cover. Underneath the cover, you should find screws holding the outside door mechanism tight. Somewhere along the way you should discover a manufacturer. If not, a complete replacement door latch should be available. If you take the broken handle to an RV parts store, you can probably just get a replacement handle.

Here's a pretty complete list of RV salvage yards:

someone that's used to fixing things might get a piece of metal and drill a hole in the broken handle and bolt on the new part. Other than that a you'll need a rv tech to just replace the hole system with something new. Dave

That was a very common handle. Google says is a Bargman L-300. Google finds all kinds of info. But looks expensive. I'm thinking junkyard. I know a few car type yards that have an old motorhome or two, I know I could find one.

I have a stop planned for Red Bay Alabama in the next few weeks, maybe Tiffin has one laying around. If not I will start looking, thanks for the info 1x
