Don't laugh but we were actually trapped in a Diesel Pusher because we could not figure out the door's inside latching mechanism. It was NOT intuitive at all. After about 15 minutes I was considering the emergency window, when someone walked up. They opened door from outside. I never figured out why we could not open, but needless to say, we did not buy that coach.

Honestly, I personally have never opened any of the emergency hatches/windows in any of my RVs, so I can’t speak from personal experience.
What I can tell you is that my neighbor’s window opened and fell - framed glass and all - to the ground where it hit a concrete curb and asphalt. The glass shattered and the frame was bent. His particular unit was fairly new (2-3 years old I think) but that model was already out of production, so spares were probably few. What made matters worse for him is that they had reservations at another RV park on the other side of the state and were due to leave in just a few days. They did come back the following month for a short time but I guess they had a heckuva time getting the new framework located and shipped.
Pretty sorry deal....
