[The Guidrys]

Yep,

It happened at the most inconvenient time. Pulled in my campsite, and then I hear my wife calling... she was locked out the camper. I was confused for a second, but after a few seconds, it hit me...another failure. So I got my 10yo son to crawl thru the passenger window (lucky it was cool outside and had most of the window open) and he was able to disassemble the lock and take a pliers to pull the plunger to open the door. I removed the plunger and used the deadbolt lock and key to keep my door shut.

So I call my dealer and they drop ship me a new one under my extended warranty plan, however, I should have done a little research and learned that Trimark offers a STEEL version. So now, I have another 'time bomb' on my door lock. The last 'replacement' lasted about 2 years, the 'original' lasted about 2 years, so next time, I'll be getting a STEEL plunger version. Until then, I'll be leaving a window open and a screwdriver in one of my inside compartments!

Safe Travels Ya'll!
