Sounds like you have it all locked up.

Second trip out this week and the deadbolt failed and locked us out. Had to call out a locksmith at about $140.00.  We could go back to the dealer and fight for a replacement but at this point have no faith in a lock you can buy on Amazon for something like $30.  Thinking of trying the digital lock, does anyone have any experience with one?  Thanks!

The deadbolt cylinder on my 2015 177 disintegrated while I was unlocking to leaving on a weekday trip.  It could not be saved - couldn't even get the key into the lock. I had to drill the cylinder to get the door open. The good news is the local RV dealer (Arrow Trailer Supply, Ontario CA.) Had several in stock. Price tag was $34. Works as original since it was an exact replacement.
  Thank goodness I was in my driveway when it broke. This would NOT have been amusing in a remote campground!
  The dealer ordered a warranty replacement a month ago but I haven't received it yet. I will be traveling with my cordless drill and suitable drill bits as a result of the experience..

What type of problems? I have read complaints about the loud beeping noise but haven't seen any about being locked out.

If you are talking about the one with the keypad & remote, it was standard for a while but isn't anymore.  I didn't have one on mine, others that had it will need to chime in.
