Has anyone installed a keyless door lock on their fifthwheel. Any pros on cons? What brands are you using.

We have the RV Lock Brand. Absolutely love it!!!!

Pros: easy to install
very convenient, no more keys
key fob works from a distance
tone alert for lock / unlock
back lit at night after touching buttons
Cons: sometimes hangs up in below freezing weather (low bat and stick lube)
fits a little loose, could solve with shim washers but not that bad.

The batteries last us about a year , we camp 3-4 days / week from april to oct.
One of the best accessory purchases I made for the rv. We moved it from our tow behind to the 5er and just swapped out door latches. Check directly at the company web site as they have periodic sales and usually throw in 2 key fobs. www.rvlock.com

Keyless is great but be sure you have the old capability of using a key mixed into the sytem to gain entrance just in case... WIRELESS FANCY stuff sometimes doesn't work. A manual key system works pretty good all the time...

Of course all of my backup keys etc are keep in my truck and the entrance to the truck for the most part is my DOOR PUSH-BUTTON KEY ENTRY.... GO Figure hehe...

My FRIDAY 13th comment hehe...

Ours came with it. Love it! Easy entry and easy to lock. Don't recall brand. Uses a 4 digit code.
