Hood Latch, 2021 Baystar

[dJohn]

I found a simple solution. Don't pull continuously. Simple give it one hard short yank. Voila. Opens easy.

I tried everything, it would open but if someone was not outside to hold it, it would relatch in the safety latch position. Seems to work good now though, lets hope it lasts.

Hey all, got the hood latch on the Baystar fixed up, it works so much better now. The dealership did the mod, Newmar supplied the instructions and some new parts.

What exactly was the fix?

I will post some pics, not sure they will help. Latch is upgraded and looks more robust.

2022 Bay Star 3014. I had the same problem, could'nt pull and release the cable with two hands!. I'm a pretty strong woman but this was ridiculous. Then on my last try the cable came out and ended on the drivers seat with me!. Luckily I was taking the coach to a local rv tech, in Idaho Falls. He was great and fixed to issue. He adjusted the cable connections and spring and now its as it should be, easy one hand release. I'm so happy. He said however installed it didn't make any adjustments in the slack. If ever you need a tech guy for anything, Steve is your man, Snake River RV & Hitch, 208 529 5325

Hi, same problem, except my cable never came out. Found out it is common on some Newmar's. Got ahold of Steve at Newmar and he sent me instructions and pictures on how it would look when fixed. The guys a Bucars did the repair, free, and it has worked like a real hood release since. Enjoy the rest of the summer.

Hey Togin, I would contact Steve Moser at Newmar, 866-379-0612, and ask him about the fix they have. Have him send the fix to your dealer and get them to fix it next time you take the 3014 in. I have pictures but they are not very good. I will try to post them in another reply.
