Another Cam Lock Newby

[edukehtoer]

I imagine this subject has been beaten up pretty well. Still I'm going to ask for a recommendation for replacing the camlock's on our Geo Pro. I'm thinking somebody probably has done this already and they can tell me what to get.

The barrel is 5/8 inch thick. The length of the barrel is 1 inch of threads and 1 3/16 inch to the end of the screw hole. It uses a bent arm which I think I can use again on the right size replacements. It only problem I'm anticipating is that it isn't slotted the same way.

I need three but I know I may have to pay for a larger set. I like the black ones. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

I recently replaced all my cam locks. I used this company to order them. Great selection of lengths, diameters, different bends and much more.

I looked that up and then I talked to them on the phone. They sent me a link for a measuring form and were otherwise extremely helpful. I’m sure I’ll be ordering from them.

I like that I was able to order, install and use these large washers to give the locks a bit more rigidity and dust covers just to make the locks look nicer.

Because we generally stay outside the A-frame except to sleep, accessing the outside storage compartments easily and frequently makes life much better. Some other A-framers came up with the combination thumb latch and lock combo, and installed them (see https://www.forestriverforums.com/fo...s-41517-7.html). I did the same, the mod has significantly reduced friction between DW and I over the location of the camper keys. 3 years later, we still love the mod. Occasionally, the cams need adjustment as the camper gets used.
