Main door handle broke!!
...when I tried to open it last night to take Scooter, The Wonder Dog, out for his last walk of the day. The part you pull on from the inside to open the door latch actually broke just behind the pivot point.
It is interesting to realize that you are trapped in the rig when that happens. Fortunately, I keep some tools in the rig, and it took only 5 min or so to take the inside plate off so I could slide the latch back out of the door jamb with a screwdriver blade. Removed the broken handle and the pivot pin, put it all back together without the handle, and now all is "workable" from inside using a screwdriver to slide the latch when necessary. I did run a fairly long zip-tie through the two pivot pin holes so as to give me some way to pull the door closed from the inside. The door locks and latch work normally from outside.
In talking to Keystone this AM, once again verified that Keystone doesn't have a system where individuals can order parts from them. Got to go through either a Dealer or the actual manufacturer of whatever it is. Not real time-sensitive nor user friendly, but that's the way it is..working down the parts trail today...
