Keyless entry

The RV Lock is:

CLASS C/A RVLock Keyless Entry Door Handle- RIGHT × 1

For the pictures, I cannot change the rotation and need to get some touch up paint to cover the white area now expose. The lock just fit into the opening with about 3/16 inch increase in the size of the current opening using a Dremel tool.. After working the lock with the door open, I closed it and locked it. Bad move if you left the keys inside. The dead bolt was just scraping the deadbolt opening and would not fully retract. I have a lot of small custom made tools. One was perfect for reaching into the thin opening and was able to walk the deadbolt back into the lock. One cannot do this when the deadbolt is in the lock setting so it is safe. If I had the key, it would have easily opened. I know because I tried it. I had to file the edge of the door opening for the deadbolt. Install took about an hour. I added the door handle to make it easy to close. Purchased it at Lows.

Note that my rig was in the shop, four months, under an extended warranty. The main slide had to be removed, a new frame installed, and put back together. COVAR 19 had a lot to do with the delay along with the manufacture of the slide frame redesigning it with new part numbers. Getting the wrong size parts and a shutdown added to the fun. The new frame is much stronger and will not bend as the original. So I have not had time to get touch up paint made for the rig. Another thing on the list to do.

AMEN! I've put two Trimark on my 2017 Vegas 24.1 (the tall narrow lock, 030-0900) and BOTH have failed; been locked out and even a new one won't open the bottom lock with the factory OEM keys; neither lock did. I'd give ANYTHING if ANYONE but TriMark made a lockset for it...

Me too!!!! I hate the trimark latch. So frustrating that we are stuck with no other options because of the weird size/style.

RVLock is releasing a keyless replacement for the Axis/Vegas Trimark 030-090. They call it Atlas. $300. Who's the guinea pig?

I've used RVLock products for years on multiple RVs. I would have no problem getting one of these if I had an Axis/Vegas. Changing to an RVLock is my first upgrade.

Glad they are expanding their product base.

I will preorder if I can and I'll be the first to put one on. I had RVLock on my older RV and it was AMAZING. Can't WAIT!!!

They are offering a bluetooth option, $60. It seems to be able to retrofit AFAIK. I'll pass on that feature for now.

NO-O-O-O!

My bad! The fitment on this new lock is for a handle that is set back 2.25"-2.75" from the door edge. I spoke with phone answering guy, who said the unit has not been released yet, but the deadbolt is too long (for some hi-tone, Gucchi rig, although the photo in the Fit Guide shows a Vegas door) He did check that the deadbolt could be cut down to fit, they are working on making a shorter deadbolt. So, hurry up and wait.
Sorry.

If you check, the plastic film is over the white and black paint. Same with my Palazzo. I don't care. To paint over that plastic/rubber will require special primer and paint for plastic/rubber. I will live with it. RV locks are the best.

Here is the measurement on a 2018 Thor Hurricane 34J.

This is what it shows on RVLock's website


And here is what I show on my Thor Hurricane


I'm pretty sure it won't fit unless what gnach said and you can just make the bolt shorter.

RV Lock support confirmed today that the new Atlas for Class A/C coaches would not fit on my 2022 Thor Miramar 37.1. I sent them a photo of my current door handle/lock and said that they do not make one to fit that style used on my coach. I would have to modify it and they do not know where I would have to make the modifications at this time.

Sorry.

UPDATE!!
An intrepid member of the FB Thor Vegas and Axis Motorhomes private group, Jon Decker, had pre-ordered the new RV Lock Atlas latchset and chose to void his warranty and modified it to fit his Vegas door. He presents a well detailed posting with photos. Warning: not for the faint of heart
