Unless you extremely lucky to find one at a caravan spares place, that ebay seller who fabricates new ones is your only option. If you ask they may be able to make them in beige.

I see the original seller in Toowoomba Qld lists these catches in lots of singles; 5x; and 10x. Singles are $12 each; 5x are $55; and 10x are $100. Another seller in Nabiac NSW is listing 5x for $33 (see here for the current listing). Don't know if there's any difference in the product between the two sellers. cheers, Al. |

seems the seller in Nabiac also has an ad on Gumtree, where they are $3 cheaper for the 5 gumtree ad

I bought some of the catches from the seller at Nabiac via their Gumtree listing, just to suss them out. Quality is very good with no daggy bits of plastic hanging off the moulded edges. The brown colour is fractionally darker than some original catches I have already. The main difference is that the spring wire in the new catches is slightly thicker than the originals, so thumb pressure to open the catch is noticeably higher.
That difference in thumb pressure may cause people to baulk when opening old and new catches side by side. It might be sensible to have the new catches away from the most-used doors, and relocate old catches onto these doors instead.
If you buy any of the new catches, put an old catch and a new catch side by side and see if you agree with my thoughts above.
cheers,
Al.

I have found the original ones are very brittle and just break anyway. You are better to buy new ones as the older ones will not last if you can fit them without breaking them. I bought some of eBay and they were good value for money and redesigned to last longer.
