I've been locked inside my camper. Before I modified the steps, the scissors steps hung on a bracket just below the door. Our first night camping in it, the motion of moving around in the camper caused the steps to work up a bit, just enough to interfere with the door. In the morning, locked in!
This Bigfoot has a Heki which is not rated for escape, so one of the side windows in the cabover swings open for fire escape. Now looking at it, that is going to be a very awkward exit, jamming yourself through a small hole 8 feet above the ground. I went out the Heki, across the frost covered roof and down the ladder, straightened out the steps, back inside. After breakfast - locked in again! Same drill.
I have since fixed the steps.
