Frozen bay lock
Well, I got the MH put into the new storage spot with power to keep the batteries charged. But the dang electrical bay lock is frozen. I squirted it with de-icer, heated the key and tried to open quit...

Yep, the lock is broke. It got up to 34 here today. Bought a hair drier and went back. Squirt some more deicer into the lock and applied the heat. I did this for a good 8 minutes or so all over the lock and latch. It was very hot to the touch. Key goes in fine, it does turn very slightly but won't open. Even sprayed some WD40 in for kicks. Nothing worked.
One more thing to have the dealer fix this spring. I guess I'm stuck running the genny to keep the batteries up until then.
Et2, you know, it might be possible to go in from the bottom. I'm not sure how your coach is set up but you can unscrew those round covers pretty easy from the back side. Then you can reach up and pull the cord out.
We had a lock break on our previous coach and that was the only way I could get to the electric cord.
Good luck,
MM.
