This weekend the door handle broke off. I looked at it and came up with a temporary solution that worked quite well. New part on order. I drilled 4 holes and used 2 small cable ties pulled as tight as I could get them with pliers.
What did we do in days past without cable ties? Wire?
I always carry both. We met a couple of "****ies" on the road between Birdsville & Windorah once - they wanted a piece of wire to fix their exhaust on their ute! Done.

I carry two rolls of galvanised wire; one about 1mm and the other about 2.5mm diameter - they are perhaps the most useful and versatile "fix-it" items I carry.
The rubbish plastic hardware that the caravan door manufacturers inflict on us all and the outlandish prices they charge for the replacements, is quite disgraceful to be frank.

I carry a small pair of Rigging Parrot Wire Cutters, a number of times I have had to cut discarded fencing wire from under the car. Easier to cut than side cutters.
