It fit in both my 1999 and 2008 Fleetwood Bounder, but I am not sure why.
The width must be less than 9 inches
No problems installing it on our Starcraft pop up truck from 2005.
Hope it will be a viable campaign, but we will have to see

Even though this lock was pretty easy to install, the mechanism (as stated in many previous reviews) isn't what it seems it's designed for. The key has to be fiddled with a lot to lock or unlock, and standing in the rain and fighting with the lock as you try to get back in your pop-top is just too much. A good time is not what I would consider waking up.
The replacement for Viking pop up campers from the mid-2000s is a good fit. A wire cutter was needed to cut the spring to size, and a pincher to nip the bolts, but I did not have to worry about that. As far as the original tumbler key and bolts go, you can reuse them. It is impossible for me to comment on that since I lost the original spring.
Using my money in this way was wasteful. As I was getting ready to sell my 2003 pop-top, I upgraded the lock latch Getting up and going Even though the latch fits the same as my old one, it was a challenge to install. After cutting the spring and screwing it in I had to modify the latch to fit. I cannot even lock the door because I cannot find the key. My opinion is that this is a useless product. I probably would have returned it if I hadn't cut the spring in order to try to get it to.
Before they were even close to being tight enough, they snapped in half.
it hoping that it would work, and it did. I had to fiddle with it a bit, but I got it to work. Fix for a cheap price.
This will work when you don't want it to lock from the outside. It works fine when you remove the key from the equation. My intention was to lock the camper with this lock. To lock it, you need to twist it so fast that you might get it to lock after 15 times.
This locks from inside the camper, but someone outside can still open the door if you lock it from the outside. The only way to lock it is with the key on the outside of the door.
The quality is excellent. The fit is easy. The work works.
