Is your door lock is a Trimark?
If it is it's the cheap pot metal piece inside that has broken and you won't be able to get in. Real common problem.

In my experience when I got locked out, I called several locksmiths and the minute I said it was an RV they said they couldn't get in or fix it for me.
I found out real quick why when I watched how it had to come out.
Called RV mobile and they had to pry the door frame away to get the lock out and replace it with a new one. That little incident cost me $400.00 for labor and new lock..........6 months later the NEW ONE BROKE too only I was inside when it did.
Not easy to remove from the inside either but I managed without ripping the whole door off! I took that **** broken pot metal part off the lock, taped the opening and been running with just the dead bolt since then.
Trimark has finally acknowledged the problem albeit they will not give one cent back to you for the broken one. They only offer a replacement part for that piece of garbage pot metal part.
None of this helps you get into your RV but at least you know why and what you will have to do to repair it or replace it. :W
Are you sure all your windows are locked? If not they will slide open with a push with your hands.
