Being locked in is not fun!
One time the interior plastic thumb turn on the dead bolt broke off leaving us locked in. There are two emergency windows plus the two slide windows in the cockpit open wide enough to climb out but all are over six feet from the ground.
I carry an extensive tool kit but it was in an outside compartment. We had to call the campground office and ask them to come down. I passed the keys out a window and the fellow opened the door.
He told me that people locked in RVs in not unusual. Many of the lock parts are plastic or nylon and do not last. He had brought a cordless drill with him as he explained that often he needs to drill out the lock. He has been running the campground for twenty years and has seen many RV problems.
Lessons learned:
1. We don't use the dead-bolt when we are in the rig
2. I have a small toolkit inside the rig now.
