- bob213ExplorerI hid a key on the outside of the trailer. I just can't remember where.....
- Old-BiscuitExplorer IIIFirst year on the road we both had stepped out to have a chit/chat with neighbor leaving our dog inside.
She decided she wanted to join us and pawed at the door latch hitting the dead-bolt lever and fully locking the door.
She would not unlock the door for us....just sat at dining table and looked out window at us.
I was able to budge window at table open by pushing down/lifting up on it inching it open then pushed screen out of way and reached in getting GFs purse that happen to be sitting in chair next to window.
She always had a set of keys in purse.
After that a spare key to truck and a spare key to 5vr door were always available regardless............ - dave17352Explorer

My DW managed to lock our door with us outside and the keys inside. But we have a 5er with a laundry basket under a trap door in the bedroom. I crawled into the basement, up thru the laundry basket opening, and unlocked the door. Now I have 3 sets of keys in the truck. One set we use going in and out of the trailer. The other two stay in the truck. And the truck has a door keypad in case the truck keys are locked up.
I have had a ford pickup and one of my favorite things was the keypad. That way you were never locked out. I keep extra keys here and there but that keypad is great. I wish chevy would do the same. - chris3403Explorer1500 miles from home, locked the RV and my granddaughter's 7 year old friend asked if she could hold the keys and I said sure. We got in the truck and drove 10 miles to another granddaughter's home, spent an hour there and went back to the RV and couldn't find the keys. Climbed up on the roof and came in through the bedroom vent.
- fly-swatterExplorerAll I had to do was a 3 hour round trip home to grab the keys I left on the kitchen counter. Was a new unit that summer and I hadn't put the spares in the truck yet. Didn't make that mistake again.

- FireRobExplorerOnce, wife crawled in the "basement" if you can even call it a basement (the little storage compartment on the side front of the TT) and lifted up the bed and unlocked and opened the door.
