Thank you for the response, Do you have a part number or price for the latch assembly, or should I contact my dealer? I would rather buy direct or my dealer verses going to a different supplier.

Hi Mr. Coleman, no I don’t have a part number as we don’t have them spec’d into our units. Perhaps at the dealer level they might have a direction you can go.
Kind regards,

This may not be what you are after but looking at the photo of the thumb/twist latch - which is similar to what I have on my coach, I am considering a push button latch replacement: Recreational Vehicle Parts, Recreational Vehicle Accessories, Recreational Vehicle Hardware, Recreational Vehicle Drapes, Recreational Vehicle Curtains, Recreational Vehicle Curtain
They do have a non-keyed version: RV Parts, RV Accessories, RV Hardware, RV Drapes, RV Curtains, RV Curtain
Also these are for consideration (both in keyed and non-keyed): BRD by RV Designer
BRD by RV Designer
And then finally, they do have various Trimark locksets: TriMark by RV Designer

Southco Latch; Baggage Door Lock; Locking Black – Lippert Components, Inc Online Store
Ironically I searched the outdoor kitchen door for a tag I found the mfg label. After browsing for a blank door with no holes I found the Southco baggage door latch. It appears they sell a lot to the RV industry. I still sent them a email curious if you can get a blank kitchen door with decals.

Well with some excellent help from Lippert Components Lippert Components, Inc. I have two latches and components headed my way! $113 later
Once they are installed I will either plug the holes from the old locks/latches or come up with some type of matching decal to cover them.

interested to see how this goes for you. I noticed your slam latches on your forward baggage doors are actually different than the ones on 2013. My wife hates them, they are pretty stiff for her to open.

what do yours look like? not sure why they would change them in a year? The ones on my trailer are a breeze to open
parts came today! We were dodging the rain/sleet today so while the guys worked on adding water lines to the garage, I messed with the door. I'm only going to post a teaser photo but Ill have it finished up tomorrow

I was actually surprised how many little differences there were between my 13 and the 14 I walked through last fall at the dealer. My latches are more rectangular than yours, and they are very stiff. I would snap a pic but won't have the trailer out of the cave again until Easter.
Other differences are the interior lights (different design and placement in the 14) and the interior fabrics/colors that I noticed.
BTW - looks like good workmanship there! Looking forward to the final product.

Thanks!!
might have to pull the back of your latch off an see if the rocker arm is rubbing the door. When I first cut mine I made it too tight and the latch mechanism rubbed so I had to trim a little out.
