Locked out of RV
We are locked out of our rv. Waiting for locksmith to come and make a key. Anyone with similar experience? What was outcome?

We solved our lock problem by have our second set of keys available from the truck. My truck has the push-button Key DOOR lock so is always available to gain entry as long as the battery is working I guess...
I do know the aluminum frames of most RV trailer allow you to use a heavy duty scrwdriver and can spring open almost any door without doing damage to the frame.
Gaining access to the storage bays would be where I would go with my 5th wheel. It has a laundry drop from the bed room area and small person can crawl up through that and open the doors from the inside. Don't know if your motorhome has that or not...
Also when camping it is a blessing sometimes to be around the other campers as most of the key blanks are the same especially for the storage bays etc... That happened to me one time and this is when I implemented the second key ring always inside the truck glove box.
Using the screwdriver on the storage bay door will only bend the inside lever of the storage key lock with is easily fixed or replaced from any hardware store. Of course if you have no way of getting inside the trailer from the storage bay you wouldn't want to force open this door...
Just passing along some of my thoughts.
