Question:

I own a 2012 Jayco Eagle Super Lite 314 BDS. Had nothing but trouble with the compartment latches and locks looking for stainless steel replacements. Would you be able to help me out. From Canada. If not would you be able to street me in the right direction Ken

Hi Kenneth,

I can definitely understand wanting to upgrade those latches if they've been giving you trouble. We carry several stainless steel options, such as the Replacement Thumb Turn Cam Latch Cylinder part # 295-000012, which is designed for a 3/4 inch diameter mounting hole and has a 1-1/8 inch cylinder length. That may be similar to what you're looking for, but Jayco used a few different baggage door latches over the years, so I would want to verify the dimensions of your existing latch before recommending a specific replacement.

If you're looking for stainless steel replacements, the best way to identify the correct latch is by measuring the cutout size in the baggage door and, if possible, sending a photo of one of the existing latches. If you can provide the mounting hole diameter and cylinder length, I'd be happy to help narrow down the best stainless steel replacement for your 2012 Jayco Eagle Super Lite 314BDS. We do deliver to Cananda as well.

Unrelated question, What do you usually stash in those Eagle compartments on your trips?

Much better and more durable than OEM.

@HeatherA Used the upgraded latch assembly on one of the compartment access doors on our 2023 Entegra Odyssey Class C motor home. Bruce

For sure, the best length i can see is 1", the VIN# at Jayco days typically 7/8", might be 1 1/8", the diameter is 3/4" with offset 1 1/4" latch arm. I need one keyed center and two just latches left and right. Can't see a way to send picture Looking for stainless steel

@KennethC Thanks for those measurements that helps a lot. The one thing I'd like to confirm is the cylinder length. Could you measure just the threaded portion of the latch that passes through the door (not including the thumb turn or lock head)? That will tell us whether you need the 7/8 inch, 1 inch, or 1-1/8 inch version.

@HeatherA The key one looks 1 11/4" , the two latches 1 1/8"

@KennethC We do carry an offset latch Deluxe Compartment Door Thumb Latch - 1-1/8" Part # 37200135 but it's not stainless steel. We currently do not carry a key latch that is 1-1/4" in length at this time.

Heather, I tried a new 11/8 " from our local RV supplier after hearing different views on how they're measured. Their 1 1/8" , actually has 1" of threads with a 1/8" of no threads between the latch connector which is an additional 1/8 " for a total overall length of of 1 1/4". Since my door thicknesses is 1" there are no threads to catch. Do you have the same thing in a what they would call 11/4", 1 3/8"?

@KennethC Thanks for the follow-up, Kenneth. I should have explained how these cam latches are measured a little better earlier. The cylinder length is measured from the underside of the flange to the end of the barrel. We do carry the Replacement Thumb Turn Cam Latch Cylinder Stainless Steel 1-3/8" Long Part # 295-000013. It sounds like that may be what you are looking for.

@KennethC If you need a keyed lock that is 1-3/8" you can use Deluxe Compartment Door Key Lock - 1-3/8" Part # 37200185 which is Chrome-plated zinc to resist corrosion.
