As requested by others, I’m attaching some more pictures to show how I added a toilet flush handle to the screen door. I used one made of plastic but I suggest using one that has a metal rod. That way you can bend the rod as needed in order to make contact with the screen door handle. I had to use a heat gun to slightly bend the plastic on mine.

I also have a flat washer on the back side as you will see in one of the pictures. I intend to change it out with a smaller washer but the larger one is all I had at the time.

Its an optical illusion in this picture. The two handles do make contact when in use.

Thank you for posting that....that little thing I bought from camping world does not work the greatest and I might just change it out with this!

Great idea! Thanks for the pics.

I would like to mount my handle on the outside, that way i could just push the handle and flush the inside of my camper clean!

Ingenius solution. Didn't like the camping world solution, looked to flimsy and likely to be damaged. May never open the sliding hatch again with this solution.

Nice install also!

Hope your travels are safe and the friendships made camping are lasting.
