Help!!! Can't open door!!!!

I have a 2007 Cameo with the standard RV door latch and deadbolt. It is parked a home but I cannot open the door. Both the latch handle and the deadbolt are unlocked. The latch handle opens, but does not retract the door latch. All the windows are closed, and there is no access to the interior through any outside compartment, so I cannot enter the unit. In addition, the doorside slide is extended, so I cannot drive the unit to a repair facility. I expect I will have to somehow destroy the entire mechanism to gain access, but how? Has anyone solved this problem in the past? Any comments are appreciated.
  • Thanx for the update! Nothing worse than getting a group of people working on a problem and never hearing the resolution. Good on, you for getting it done!
  • Thanks for the return information on your lock, Ken. Glad to hear you got in.
  • There was a recall on deadbolts made by Wesco a few years ago...

    Wesco lock recall

    I found out about it when I got locked out of my TT. Fortunately I had access to the storage compartment that runs under the bed. We removed enough stuff to allow my grandson to climb in and open one of the emergency windows which allowed me to get in and remove the screws that held the lock in place.
