RVLOCK - caution

That is good to know. There have been several posts about this device, none of them have been flattering.

I'd rather have a door handle with a solid deadbolt and a real key (think STRATTEC/Briggs & Stratton automotive locks that are extremely difficult to pick) than something that "sort of" works with a keypad or remote. As for going keyless, I can buy a lockbox from Amazon or selectlocks.com that offers just as much security as a keypad, if not more... and use that. Yes, it isn't as convenient, but it is a way for someone to leave their keys with their vehicle, but in a secure spot. When locking up for a hike and don't want to carry my keys with me, I can toss them in a safe that goes on the rear hitch. If someone breaks into that, they have done more work than what would be needed to get into the MH proper.

A "secure lock" on a 5th wheel or trailer is an oxymoron. Either of those can be opened with a small prybar regardless of the sturdiness of the lock. A lock is only as strong as the surrounding material.

I've never had a MH but they do look a bit more daunting to get into.

Good to know but I only use the deadbolt. The latchbolt will fail if given a strong yank.

I only use one of the two locks on my RV door. By the time someone gets past it, my German Shepherd will be saying hello.

The main reason I would like a better lock is that there are only 20-30 different keys available. At least with an auto-quality lock, it will require brute force to get in, and not just buying a tryout keyring on eBay.

I mainly use the deadbolt as well. I lock the other one when away for the week just for peace of mind, and as a way to make it obvious the rig is locked (handle won't open, and the plug is at a horizontal position.)

Let's face it, if someone is carrying a "tryout keyring" off Ebay, then he is a semi-serious thief, and is more than likely not going to be deterred by an aftermarket lock. Besides, it's probably quicker to pop the door with a prybar than to stand there trying half a dozen keys in the lock.

The standard key will keep someone out who is going around and testing doors to see who is unlocked, and thus a good mark. Good enough for me.

When I was shopping for our RV last fall the dealer had a a couple master keys that would open any of the RVs on his lot. The one we wound up buying had locks the previous owner had a locksmith change that were all unique and none of the "master" keys fit. He even had all the storage lock cylinders replaced.

I confirmed it with my locksmith when I went to get a couple spare sets made. Guess it's a good idea seeing the salesman opening any door he wanted to.

well over a year ago we replaced the OEM entry door lock on our camper with a RV LOCK KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM By THE MOBILE OUTFITTERS .... as noted, it works the deadbolt, not the door handle lock .... its nice to be able to get out of the truck (specially when its raining or when we are in a hurry), push a button on the remote, and have the door unlocked by the time we get to it .... the master keys dealers have will only fit the handle lock, they will not fit the deadbolt
