Big Mistake
I was trying to latch the shower door closed in preparation for our departure from our camp site, and yes the MH was up on jacks.ush a little to hard on the latch and the door exploded in my hands! What a surprise! There was glass flying everywhere. We found little pieces up by the drivers seat. Besides the mess, it cut the He.. out of my arm, but I got the bleeding stopped them proceeded to clean up the mess.
The next morning I call Monaco parts to find out if they had a new door in stock in Coburg, as we were just a day away, but they had to special order it from the manufacturer in Elkhart... The cost only $544 plus shipping, but they did give me the part number and the vendors part number.
A quick call to Mega RV Parts and a return call from them and a new door is on the way to my home for $195 plus shipping. Monaco warned my they have a markup, but ovet 2 times the cost!!
They lessons learned: 1 - Wait until the MH is back on the airbags just like the slides before trying to latch it. 2 - Use of force isn't good in this case, the bigger hammer theory doesn't work. 3 - Mega RV Parts is great!!! Glad they sponsor this forum.
