Ever been locked inside of your own trailer?

Every time I see this thread, I am reminded of the band whose bass player locked the keys inside the equipment van. They missed the gig because it took them 2 hours to get the drummer out of the van.

I keep seeing this topic at the top of the list. This AM, a thought came to me - what is to prevent us from being unable to open the bathroom door once you are inside? It looks very similar to the outside door mechanism?

Hi Leslie. Hope you and your husband are doing well. The reason you keep seeing this thread at the top every time you come into this area (and the one underneath it) is because they are "pinned" up there because the administrator felt that these topics will continue to be important for people well into the future. So they are pinned up at the top so that they are easy to see and find (notice the stick pin in them). Hope this helps explain it!?

Another thought to add would be having a spider in the crapper with you when you get locked in.

Maybe we should keep a screwdriver in our bathroom!

Not sure how effective that would be on spiders, 'crept bonking them with the handle.

This happened to us in our fifth wheel before we had our Camplite!  So it happens to all brands!!!!

Leslie, you are correct, the bath lock is exactly the same as the exterior door lock. I watched the video that  Whoofit provided and put a little locktite on the screws holding the dead bolt mechanism on both locks. It didn't take long...easy fix. I found the screws fairly tight but why take chances. You could have a real problem if you  were inside the bath and the lock failed.
