I was in a state park a few years ago when one of our fellow campers was cutting away at his lock assembly with a Dremel tool using a cut off blade. I assume another victim of FIC. He got the door open by cutting up the assembly but I do not know the details.
Might be something to try.

JMO, but I wouldn't go anywhere near this with any high speed tool - one inadvertent slip and you could be replacing the entire door. :M Instead, go through where any damage will be minimal, easy repairable, and invisible once corrected - the front pass through storage compartment.

With all due respect replacing a door is simple. You're advocating cutting out bed supports. Are you kidding :h
ME kidding?!! Hardly. It makes more sense to you to risk damaging a door with a Dremel tool that's inadvertently slipped out of your hands and would cost hundreds to replace over cutting through a couple of pieces of wood worth 50 cents?!!! Good grief. :S
Next spring I plan to install a couple of additional receptacles next to the bed in our trailer and to do so I'll be pulling a couple of the pass through compartment panels in order to gain access to where I need to work. Now that this discussion about failed door locks has come up I'll be modifying those panels and reattaching them with screws so in the unlikely event my own entry door lock should fail I'll be able to gain entry to the interior of the trailer via the pass through storage area simply by removing those screws. :B
Take a chance on damaging the entry door just to remove an inoperative door lock?! Ha Ha ... now that's funny! :W
