Bathroom Door Lock?

My trailer did not have a lock either. With just DW and I it did not matter. As we had kids and they grew older, and DW's aunt started comming with us I swapped out for a locking one.

I usually give the warning, "going in" and the wife and kids drop whatever they are doing and are gone for 1-2 hours. The door being locked never comes into play.

I have no idea is there is a lock on our Class C bathroom door. There may be. There is a lock on the shower door, which is weird, I would never shower with the door closed. Our bathroom is in the middle of the RV and the shower door opens to the front and clicks in place, the toilet door opens to the back. This makes a larger space when showering and allows the bathroom fan to get the steam from the shower out.

We spent last weekend in a friend's Trailer, I have no idea if there was a lock on that door either.

No lock on mine either! Actually I've never thought of it!

My friend, Woody Pugh would have locked the door.

It is a safety feature (NO JOKE) they no longer put locks on the bathroom doors so children can't lock themselves in on a hot day with no air (simular to refrigerators). If you have small children at DO NOT put locks on the doors.

When we were looking at campers our son locked himself in a trailer bathroom in the 1980s at an RV lot It was hot he was scared he was so overheated we thought we would need to take him to the local ER. & the RV mechanic had to take the door off the bathroom to get him out!!!!!!

Well all interesting comments. At home and at camp the bathroom door stays closed all the time. We don't like the smells that can come from them from time to time, nor do we want to think about it. With children who rush in without thinking a lock is imperative Maybe its just me.

Ours has a lock, but we never use it since it is just the two of us. The "if the door is closed" option wouldn't work as we always keep that door closed. When that door is open, it blocks access to the bedroom.

I guess they assume that when you're camping with someone they're friends who won't come into a bathroom while it's in use.

Guess I never thought about it until we got the BA bunkhouse. It does have a lock but we never use it unless company is staying with us. If need be I could just put my knee against the door.
