There is a replacement stainless steel plunger on the market that doesn't require anything except about 3 minutes to replace. It is made in 2 pieces so that you don't have to do any fabrication, or disassemble the handle..
I was lucky to be inside the coach when it broke. Removed the two mounting screws on the inside and removed the lock. Some people were able to crawl in an unlocked window. You may be able to pull the lever that opens the door and pound on the door near the edge where the bolt is. Jiggle the door as you pound, may work the broken end out of the strike on the jamb. May have to cut the lock out. May be able to work a stiff wire or thin metal strip under the lip of the door and work the bolt out of the strike.
James Ray You may be able to open the drivers side or passengers side window even if locked. Some have posted that you can open by pushing in on the slider portion at the lock and pulling out on the fixed side. They post that you can get enough movement to move the sliding side past the lock catch.

Hi MX2 Bob, where can i buy thé stainless steel pièce ? Tks
Part #?
@@juanolea1611 I didn't give it a part number, as it's the only one on the market, and I only make this kit.
@@juanolea1611 It only fits the Trimark handle like the one pictured in this video.
Trimark. $100 latch with a 10 cent bolt.
Maybe, could be 2 cent.
It's how they move product nowadays. Make it cheap and sell more. Same with appliances today.
any experience getting the lock assembly out of the motorhome when that latch breaks in the locked/closed position?
