I'll check more closely for any identifying marks. The local Itasca dealer rep was trying to track down a part but I haven't heard back as yet.

Here's another thought. Take a look at what eTrailer offers in that style latch.

You might take some careful measurements and contact the folks at eTrailer for their thoughts on what would work as a replacement. I've heard good things about their willingness to help customers.

Thanks I'll try them. I have purchased other items from them.

You could cover the hole.
use a key lock in the hole, and drill a couple holes that can take the twist locks on the side of door.
Cover the hole and use solenoid catches instead.

All depends on how long you have to look for the replacement I guess.

Thank you I'll keep that as an option.

I am still looking for an exact replacement but until then I made a sleeve to go around the 3/4" new barrel. I bought a steel bushing id 5/8" od 7/8". I then used a 3/4"drill bit to bore the id to 3/4". I placed it over the 3/4" barrel, put it in a vise and squeezed the bushing around the new barrel. I think it will work. I just need to get the right length barrel.

Where there's a will, there's a way!
