I am searching for a replacement exterior door latch for old RV. This is a 1978 Midas. The current latch/lock is approx. 5" square. I'm not seeing anything similar on the part stores I've searched so far. There is not a knob on the outside, it is flat. Any suggestions? It works but doesn't lock and has no knob at all on the inside.

have you checked vintage trailer supply or tweety's I have had some good luck with those sites, best of luck Liz
p.s this may be a long shot but check into elkhart indiana (google replacement parts with the town) it is the home of camper (no pun intended) they do have a museum as well as library of vintage camper magazines, pics, specs,etc.
I checked vintage trailer supply but not tweety's. I'll check there thanks for the suggestions. :o)
I did manage to get a knob on the inside. Had an old door knob from one of the original doors we took off this old farm house we live in. I was able to drill it out a bit and got it on the camper fitting. But I can't lock it, still working on that.
