Looking for a lighted bargman style assist handle for 1982 17 1/2 RD Sunline
We aquired a 1982 Sunline camper dual axle 17 1/2 foot long. We are looking for a lighted entry handle to replace ours. So far the only ones we have found are the chrome bargman ones, but they look smaller than the one on the camper. Any suggestions????

Those are the actual bargman ones and ours was made by Mid America Sales and is plastic - that is the style I'm looking for, but thanks for the links.

I've got one. It's not in great shape, but it's still in one piece with the handle too.
Does yours have the handle that goes up and fits kinda inside/in front of the light?

Is there any way you can post a picture of it? I think that sounds like the one we have. Ours is more weather checked and the lenses over the light are real cloudy. I appreciate the help. Thanks

Here they are. It was removed from a 1980 17 1/2' SB. It's weathered, but it's clean and doesn't look too bad. Also will come with a full set of square head stainless steel screws, like the ones in the handle.
Borrowed a bulb to make it light up:

That's the one - and much better shape than ours. How much are you looking to get for that bad boy? We are contemplating coming to Hillsdale to the meet, but would like to put it on before then. Also, if there is anyone looking for a reasonably priced awning and hardware kits Bontrager's surplus in White Pigeon, MI set us up with one for $460 plus tax #269-483-2249 - Also for replacement lights for the interior we found some great ones for 4.50 each at RV surplus here in Elkhart, IN

Make me an offer on it! You can send me an e-mail/PM about it if you'd prefer.

Hi jazw33,
Is yours missing or is the lens broken?

It is cracked and water is able to get into it. It is very "crumbly" I have the lens (very cloudy) and the entire bulb/socket is rusted and wires corroded.

Okay...I was going to say that if it is just the lens you need, someone on the forum made a replacement lens for theirs. I am guessing you will need to find one that is a close match to your dimensions. I had to replace the rusted bulb holder and also replaced the cracked lens in mine with a piece of plexiglass.
Good luck. If I run across anything, I will let you know.
