Front entry door handle broken . Will not open!

Mark:
Never thought about putting a emergency switch in the drivers compartment for the toll window. Is that something you had done or is it something the newer Prevost have?

Chuck,
The emergency window button is standard as far as I know. The button is behind a plastic panel in the upper area of that compartment.
Safe travels,
Mark
PS. Also, my neighbor at the storage facility, who has a 2016 Marathon, had his door lock break too when it was new.

This was covered in detail a couple of years ago. A search of the archives will pull up that thread. On our 97 XL the “trick” was to knock out the key hole plug just forward of the handle. Insert a bent metal piece, like the nose of a hacksaw, pointed to the rear. That will position it just under the lever that opens the door when the handle is pulled. Pry up on the metal piece to push the lever up and the door will pop open. Prevost wanted over $500 for the replacement door handle “kit” that fits several models and years of coachs. One of the posters in that thread found that a standard Dorman part from Amazon was an exact replacement for about $30. Dorman 760-5206 Front Passenger Side Exterior Replacement Door Handle

I was a victim of the $500 replacement door handle for late 1990’s XL’s. To add insult to injury I think it was really for the XII chassis and Prevost Parts had run out of the right one that they originally had quoted $160. The $500 replacement needed some remodeling to work and there were left over parts.
I should probably buy one of those Dorman latches and toss is in the parts drawer in case what I have breaks.

Jerry (dtjoint),
Jon was asking several posts above if a H345 ever had the issue, I haven’t seen anyone else mention it before.
My handle looks different than the one that you posted.

PS. Triple Foxtrot….I laughed out loud reading your post! Funny!
