Where can I find a door handle for my MCI9?

You mean a non-stock RV type door handle?  People generally make something up.  some use an RV door latch, some use a modified truck door setup, some use a modified exterior door latch.  I just use a dead-bolt, I haven't come up with what I really want yet.

I am in the process of installing my deadbolt.  I was also wondering about a door handle.  Currently my plan is to do like Bevans6 and just use the deadbolt.  Bevans6, have you unhooked your door opener from the inside or is it still intact?  I was thinking about getting rid the door handle off the dash and just have the deadbolt until I figure out what type handle I want.  Not alot of help Fredcliff but I am glad you asked the question.

I swapped in a sedan door where a split door was originally so i had no inside handle, no air cylinder to close the door.  I have two dead bolts right now, i run down the road with both of them closed.  It's not ideal, it's just what I have.
