There are far too many things lumped in one pile considered to be RV hardware. There are almost unlimited amounts of items called RV hardware. There is hardware for awnings on the side of the RV and another type of hardware for awnings that cover windows and slide outs. RV hardware in a catalog more likely contains items such as cabinet hardware and window hardware. Here a few of the things you might find if you looked in the catalog.
Hardware for cabinets in an RV such as different types of catches and latches not only for cabinets but also for bunks. Then it will have all the different types of hinges and cabinet door struts. In that section you will find in another group, hardware for RV drawers which are very limited. Items such as slides, guides and kits.
In the RV hardware section, but a different grouping you will find window hardware which consist mostly of operators and knobs. There are a tremendous amount of these but if your RV is relatively new it is easier to find the ones you have. It will be separated but this is where you find all the drapery and curtain hardware. To me this a bear but companies such as RV Design have narrowed it down to the most commonly used items which makes it much easier. Things like hooks, snaps, curtain tape, and so on.
Locks and twist knobs for your baggage doors look like there are a lot of them and there is, but only because of the lengths of the threaded part and whether it is lockable or not.
Locks for your entry doors are in the hardware section and they are usually black, white, and chrome. If you have a travel trailer or a 5th wheel they are easily found, but motorhomes are a little more difficult.
Gas props for cabinet doors and bed lifts are there also and again RV Designs brand of hardware has come out with a chart that simplifies this for easier identification.
Awning hardware will not be in that section but will be found in the awning section by itself. There only two real players are far as having the majority of the market and they are A&E and Carefree of Colorado.
