Title: Where can I find a replacement lighted handle for next to the outside entry?
Post by: Stan Simpson on June 07, 2016, 05:13:48 PM

Yesterday, we had our new rescue kitty, Moses (Moe), at the coach so he could get acclimated before our next trip. He's a hefty 15 lbs, and as I backed out of the coach, I grabbed on to the handle next to the entry door for support, and it snapped off right in my hand.

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement, that lights, just like the old one?

I plan to call BCS today to see what they say. Perhaps there is a source that's better.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you, Steve. BCS has the kit for $98.00. I have to replace everything because it all broke, the shaft, the end caps, etc.

I found a Monaco one on eBay for $60, but the bottom end cap is too long.

Edit: Everywhere I tried, they wanted to sell me one that had a rectangular end cap on the bottom, whereas mine is 'bullet shaped'. I ended up "biting the bullet" (pun intended) and got an OEM one from Northwest RV Supply in Eugene.
