Do you have a part number for that latch?

Part # 0315479. Ordered two weeks ago and works perfectly.

Thanks!

Wow- The Forzas are really cheaply designed aren't they? Too many mods indicate it.

I'm not sure if a cheap design is the real reason that there are quite a few mods shown. I think for the money you pay, you're getting a heck of a deal, however with any particular RV which people purchase they enjoy modifying and adapting it to fit their purposes and their lifestyle, once they get to using them. Not one particular design fits all of the masses, so models and designs are forever changing. I enjoy making modifications to ours to fit our particular lifestyle and to make it comfortable for us. And I certainly don't expect those changes to be satisfactory to everyone.

If you are thinking the Forza has too many warranty issues I don't believe mine has had any more issues than the average RV. Some have more problems and some may have less problems. In discussing this with a couple of friends who own RVs I think mine has been about average.

ALL in all, I think the Forza fills a niche in the entry level Class A RV market, and provides a good solid RV to make changes to or upgrades if you need or want to. Even as it is it is a roadworthy, stylish, and solid RV.

I would be interested in how you wired the LED Lights to work with your low beams. I have a 2015 Solei. Great job on the mods!

I just removed all the plastic stem extensions and threw them in the trash.

What extensions did you use for the rear inside tires?

MountainMH,
I have tried several time to join the Facebook Winnebago Diesel Pusher Owners Group you mentioned with no success.

I had to replace my water pump today while sanitizing the water system. It would not pump. Motor is good, bearings are great, the intermediate sant-o-prene pumping diaphragm doesn't work. On line, the 2 kits would cost about $50 plus shipping. CW had a model 4008 pump pay number 4008-101-E65 instead ofthe original F65, but specs are exactly the same. 3GPM, 7.5 amps, 55psi, identical connections, and it was on sale for $75, instead of $120. It was a no brainer. Sad to say the original only lasted us a little over 18 months, and a lot of that was 2 winters!

Glad the new one has a 2 year warranty! Maybe it'll get past the warranty period.

yes, and if everything was cheap and easy to replace, like the water pump, we’d all be a little happier ��

You are so right! I'm just glad I didn't have to order and wait. At least it is a common pump they used. Got it fixed the same afternoon...

I will add that this latch only works on the Whirlpool fridge/freezers that DONT have handles. I believe the 2014 38R has handles so this won't work. The 34T and the 36 have the Whirlpool without handles, and this latch is made for them.

Hmmm. I finally got around to calling Total Value. They did not recognize this part number for the Refrigerator Latch. They had two different ones available. One is 3.56" in size and the other is 4.82". Looking further, the part number should be 0315479.

Thanks
