Oh, I didn't think of that. Thanks very much. I have to go up to the new place tomorrow..."Well, new to me",,LOL
I'll check before I purchase. I have seen a few MH parts places near me, just never have been in one. And I also have seen some stores online.

Also...They put some type of roof on, that looks like a plastic/vinyl roof on. Kinda a snap together roof? They did a ton of work, and then lost it during a divorce, and taxes...The maint. guy told me that is a good thing with this roof?

Thanks, I will measure mine before I leave today, and when i get to the MH, I will measure the thickness of that one. I wasn't sure, since they looked identical to my locks on my house.
