Trying to identify this part

JRW911 · 03-14-2023, 06:47 AM

Good morning. New guy here. I just purchased my first pop up camper (2002 Jayco Qwest) and am in the process of cleaning it up and doing small repairs. I've been able to identify a few broken parts and ordered replacements online, but I'm struggling to find this piece. It's the metal tab that holds the screen door up when the camper is closed and also secures the screen door frame to the side when it's cranked up. One of them is broken. Can anyone assist?

Thanks! I've been searching Google for the last day plugging in all kinds of key words and phrases with no luck.

FYI...if you ever run into a "what's this" in the future....Google has the ability to search against a picture the same as searching words. Doesn't always work out, but when it does...what a time saver.

Yeah, I tried a google image search and all it showed was plumbing supplies.

Yeah...happens like that sometimes. I had to crop your photo down to the twist lock itself and let a photo software 'adjust' image... and then right click to get the google image search. A little kludegy. Coming here was much quicker, I'm sure. Good luck....the prices for that thing are all over the place.

The picture I used for the search was much closer and much more clear than the one I posted here. Still no luck via Google image.
I found a pack of 4 on the 'bay for about $10 w/free shipping. I'm assuming that's about as good as it's going to get. Can't hurt to have extras lying around, I guess.

Well, if you ever buy a boat you're on your way to putting fasteners down for a canvas cover and you know where to get more.

These twist locks are also used on some attached screen rooms. An RV dealer "may" have them.

Also Amazon, but most were 20 packs.

Make sure you measure the stud height, they make many sizes. I have a '82 Jayco tent trailer and I used the 6mm length. I found them on ebay.

Thank you for posting this! It looks like you have to order a kit of four of them. I actually think my situation would benefit from a larger size than the original one as it has been used quite a lot and it's all bored out. Want to go in on a 4 package?
