I ordered an extra key for my 192 and I found you can get the keys already cut. There is a number on the key and I used it to order an extra on Ebay. Then I realized that other people with the same key can access my RV. So, does any one of you have a good solution for making the door more secure?< ="text/" ="https:////www.rpod-owners.com/3573a675bb91940deb3a9fdd9bc861d5e19ca7d0dbf836479f42c53a114ea0d8/inject.js">

+1 I've had the r.v.lock keyless entry on my last, and current campers. I also changed out the storage door locks to combi cam locks. Who wants to worry about carrying keys when camping.

+2 The keyless entry lock is really nice to have and only takes about 5 minutes to change out. My only issue was one time when the batteries died and it wouldn't unlock. Word to the wise, change out the 4 AA batteries yearly.

We were worried that RVLock V4 may not work in our black glass door in our Arctic Wolf 5th wheel. We love the convenience it provides. It was easy to change the combo as that was important as we use a pet sitter and we can control who has access and change the combo when she isn't helping us.

After getting to our trailer which stays at the coast and realizing that once again I had forgotten the keys in the other vehicle and having my wife dig in her purse to hope she had her set of keys, I purchased the RVLock V4. I installed it Saturday in about 20 minutes and it's very easy to do, instructions were easy to follow, and get it set up. After using the remote all weekend it is a great product, no more dragging keys or worrying about forgetting the keys.

I have been unable to lock the upper door lock since purchasing our 192 the end of this June. I think I am going to order the new locks talked about here. Thanks for the information.
