Getting back to that rear door. Winnebago is a seller of new RV units. Thus would it then have to comply with the second exit safety requirement?
Wincrasher65 originally stated the door could not be open from inside. Was that because he could not "see" the latch from inside?
JPittman corrected that with an explanation of an awkward reach through which sounds as if one would have to have some knowledge the latch is there if not visually evident.
Sounds to me that if that second exit is required by regulation of any kind then Winnebago screwed up its design, IMO, if not in fact but in spirit considering presumed intimately knowledgeable wincrasher65 did not know and the exiting should have been clearly evident in the case of an emergency by all people familiar or unfamiliar usually with a one-step "visual" action common with most all fire safety exiting standards.
Let's look at it another way. You may have the freedom to do as you please with your RV. I really don't know. But if you did modify a safety feature, sold it, and the buyer becomes a crispy critter on account of it, no doubt you will be liable I don't think you have that freedom anymore than a homeowner has to fix any safety features in a house in order to sell it. Granted there seems to be little mechanism to force you into compliance other than an after the fact incident that goes to court or review by an insurance company.
