I may be wrong but that sure looks like a doorbell ringer. Does your coach have a button by the entry door?

Yes, the doorbell. The button is in the grab bar by the door.

Those wires look awful heavy duty for a low voltage door bell.

bigbidule,
This is definitely a bell chime. Two tone bars with a solenoid and striker in the middle, the cover is missing. Probable use, a door bell for your coach?

It can't be a flux capacitor as it would only work if you got your Classic to 88 mph. The only way that's going to occur is if you push it out of an airbourne C17.

I have heard through the grapevine that Jackson centre will award a lifetime supply of Nuvite if you can get the door chine to work again.

Ironically if you can get it to work again, Murphy's law states that everyone coming to your trailer in the future will knock on the door.

Cheers
Tony
