Does anyone know of a RV boneyard that sells parts for these older models. The lockset appears to be the Trimark 60-650. I know there is a Trimark replacement/upgrade (60-1650) but am not sure if it is a direct-fit replacement. I may try to have the broken tongue fabricated or repaired as the price of the newer 1650 model in Canada is over $300.

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Thanks for your help.

No, but I remember when I forgot to bring a spare set of keys one time when I went camping. Wouldn't you know it, we got all set up, opened up one of the storage compartments, put down the keys so I could grab something with both hands.....and the wind blew the storage door shut. After an hour I called a locksmith and when we got back home I made up two extra sets. One for each of the vehicle's glove compartments and a spare under the entrance steps. Oh yeah, tried to get another set before this happened and the RV dealers didn't have the blanks, only a 'key master'.
