Oh - one more thing . . . the reason I still have the keys outside the camper and in my hands is because I had the camper winterized at the dealer's. He says he locked only the top lock not the deadbolt>!?#?$? I may have locked it inadvertently when I brought the camper back to its permanent storage spot and was getting in and out of it a couple of times.

A locksmith can open it and also give you advice on how to correct. If you don't have the right key, you're not going to open it especially the deadbolt.

The deadbolt and handle locks are different. The handle lock is universal, so just about anybody can open it with their key. The deadbolt is unique.

We replaced ours with an RVLock v4.0 keyless, which can be opened/closed with a key, a combination, or a wireless FOB. The FOB can be disabled with a switch on the indoor portion of the lock assembly.

I use the RVlock v4.0 also. This is the absolute easiest way to do it. No key needed, it takes seconds to lock/unlock. The keyless unit locks the dead bolt, so it's more secure.  I also love that the system can be programmed with up to an 8 digit pass code. I hate 4 number pins

I was locked out once this summer, but I just sent my youngest child through the cargo access and up through the seat.  Works well if the child is small and flexible enough!LOL

That's a trickier proposition with the 179 if you've replaced the mattress with memory foam, since the only cargo access is under the queen bed.

Ok,now I need one of the magic RV locks. I hate that my Jeep doesn’t have an electronic lock as I’ve used the one on my older f350many,many times.
Ordering tonight.

We were camping this summer in our TT and got locked out.

Ran to the store, came back and unlocked the door to bring the groceries in, left the keys on the counter and walked out and shut the door....some how it decided to lock itself on our way out.

Luckily our dealer met us us half way (about an hour drive for each) with a master key and we returned it on the way home.

The dealership said they've seen it happen a couple times.

We now have a spare key hidden and another spare in the TV at all times.....

Is the RV lock easy to install? Exactly which one do I order? We have the 182G,2016 model.
