Just purchased a 2004 Winnebago Sightseer WFD 30B this past Friday. We were working on the interior, straightening things and cleaning. Both of us got out to run an errand. Came back and unlocked the Entry door but the handle would not open the door. It feels like nothing is engaging to open the door. The handle is loose and flops when touched.
Fast forward to this AM, called local Winnebago Dealer, no mobile service, Called other dealer with mobile service but couldn't come out right away. Called Locksmith came out but was unable to open the door, gave up and suggested the only way to get in was to cut the entry door latch and we should locate one first.
Called Winnebago Dealer and the parts are no longer available, but Winnebago factory did suggest a replacement kit. But 2 weeks out. Kind of not the way we thought our first Motorhome experience would go.
Found parts on Amazon that say they are correct and look as close as you can get visually, measurements sort of matchup. I don't have the hole measurements since we can't get in.
I tried to open windows, but all are locked up tight! tried using a Slim Jim but everything on the windows are tight, latches are tight, could not even slide the Slim Jim in.
Any other thoughts on how to get in??
