Need 1994 Land Yacht Door
After doing a lot of work to restore my 1994 35' Diesel Land Yacht, somebody felt they were more entitled to my stuff than me and broke into my motor home. I had the home stored with the batteries disconnected the handle locked and the deadbolt set. The perpetrator started by trying to pry the door open with a crowbar and destroyed the area around the locks (both frame and the door itself), when this didn't work they smashed-out the window and destroyed enough of the screen door to (eventually) find the lever for the deadbolt.
If anyone knows where I might be able to find a complete door (or possibly all of the latching/locking mechanisms, trims, etc.), please reply. I have someone that is going to try to repair it, but I am very doubtful.
That is upsetting.
I keep a close watch on my unit and have installed an alarm on it. These guys don't like working when there is a lot of noise.
The mothership may have the lock and hardware. A body shop type guy with aluminium welder, should be able to repair the door.
What does the insurance say about it??

Your insurance policy would cover that loss.
I think new doors are still available from Airstream..
