Hi there! I'm new to the R-Pod nation...I recently purchased a 2017 R-Pod 179 from a private seller. Before the R-Pod, I traveled in my 1991 Astro Tiger XL, so I'm no stranger to odd camper issues, but I'm a little stumped this afternoon.
I spent all week on a shakedown trip, and though I dreamed up a few mods to make the R-Pod work better for my particular style of camping, everything worked smoothly. Today, I went to open the camper after loading it for a weekend away with a friend, and my key got stuck in the deadbolt.

The previous owner mentioned they had it stick once or twice, so I sprayed it with a small amount of WD40, let it sit for an hour, and the key eventually came out. It didn't break off...it exited cleanly.

The problem now is that NO key will work. They get about 80% of the way in and stop, such that I can't turn the key. This is an issue for many reasons, but most pressing is that I have a fridge full of perishable food that can't be plugged in because my driveway slopes too much.

Any ideas on how to get into my camper? I live in a remote location, and the closest RV repair shop is 2 hours away. Is there a way to open any of the windows and crawl in? Maybe the Emergency Exit?

Any help welcomed! 

Attaching a picture of my setup for good measure.
