In your absence, has anything been stolen from or moved around inside your RV? If your lock is like many others, the tumblers hold the lock cylinder together. If someone has monkeyed with the lock, that could be the issue. Or it could be worn out. Lack of lubrication, freezing temperatures, dirt, or UNKNOWN could cause your symptoms. If there is no evidence of tampering or damage and it works fine after you put the lock barrel back in, you are probably fine but be suspicious. On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being safest) those locks are about 2 as far as safety/security goes. My RV has a residential style deadbolt lock in addition to the factory lock.
