NOTE: Subsequent to the release of this video, we had to remove the QuickLock Screen Crossbar from our door because it interfered with our steps when folded in for travel. We have the MORryde Step Above steps that are solid and fold into the doorway. With the steps up, the crossbar hits the steps, preventing the door from closing without force (pushing on the steps).

This was an awesome video Chad. I have to agree with Rick from Massachusetts, you would make an awesome professor/instructor/teacher. Your clear and concise with your words and your explanations. This new door lock is a wonderful breakthrough. Kudos to RV Lock for the time and attention they have obviously put into the design and function of this product; and to back it up with the warranty they are offering with it is stellar. I'm excited to give it a try along with the screen door handle and flag holder. They both sound like great additions as well. Safe travels my friend to you and your lovely wife. Looking forward to your next episode. 🧓

Bad News FIRST : Corey with Finding Our Someday wins for video and is in another league for stills. Not surprising since he was a pro photographer before. His drone work and getting just the right angle of shot and lighting are bar none. But, you and Tara come in second out of all the RV channels, in my opinion !!!!!! GREAT NEWS : There is NOBODY that even comes close to your tech skills and showing how to do it as you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Has been a privilege to watch about 98 % of your videos since day one. I do not have an RV, started watching for ideas for our own trips since we are retired. Could not stop watching. They were so fun. Say 98% because I miss so of the tech stuff since I don't have an RV. TARA : You are great at editing and the music is always TOP NOTCH !!!!!!!! WHAT A TEAM !!!!!!!!!!

We have the Lippert LatchXtend factory installed on our 2024 Keystone, and we love it. Our problem is we also loved our RV Lock, and cannot use it, there are a few of the clamp-on style extenders out there but none are as solid and form fitting as the factory lippert unit..... That one is part of the handle and not a clamp, and we have talked with RV Lock about them making a keyless direct replacement for that Lippert unit, but I'm afraid what they said they were working on is that unit you have in your hand instead. Campers are tall, and we are average, so that handle was a lot nicer than we thought, and we would give that up to install a new RV Lock, but we would then be left with a hole for the lower part of the old handle and have to make a blank.

Glad to see them updating their lock, however, the physical keyway hasn't been updated, meaning its still very pickable even with very amateur lock pickers. They really need to switch to a tubular lock, still pickable, but it would require an advanced lock picker to do it.

Nice video - this new lock has a lot of nice features compared to my older RVLock Compact which has performed flawlessly in 3-4 years of use and I think it ranks pretty high on the list of best upgrades we have made - right there with Solar, mattress upgrade, shower head upgrade etc. Question: What is the inside pivot handle made of? My old RVLock Compact is some sort of plastic which flexes a bit and feels flimsy and its the only thing I don’t like about it (feels flimsy and cheap) even though we’ve had no issues at all.. The only big negative/weak point that I see on this new lock is the rechargeable battery life of 3-6 months or anything less than a year to me is a show stopper - what a pain.

One thing I have never heard you say is Grand Design has a full time/ traveling engineer. Nobody knows as much about what RV's need as a full timer. You should fill that spot and get a pay check to boot. From what I have seen, you know every inch of Grand Design. What they need to do to make their customers happy. Options in lay out, internet, wiring, solar, suspension, water heater options, generators, insulation, undercarriage, basement storage options, etc. They need to hire you !!!!!!!!!! But keep you on the road. Look at it as a test pilot for new jets !!!! Some one has to test the new jets and tell them what is wrong or wright with them before they go into production. You will be their test pilot !!!!! But get paid. WIN / WIN P.S. : The thing that got me thinking about this is when in the video you stated that the new lock you wanted to put on the door did not cover all the paint job from the factory. Because they did not take off the door lock before the custom paint job, hence different shape. You tell Grand Design as a employee to have an option for customers to choose the door locks as an option to what they want. Sure they have a discount price for standard door locks, but give customers an option even if it cost them more. At least the final product will not look like POOO when the client changes the locks out first thing. That is where you come in CHAD. New title. If you do get the title you deserve with Grand Design. Keep it under FBI control. Last thing you and Tara want is every time you pull into a site is, hey Chad. My RV is broke, what do I do? I am talking about pre- design issues before they hit the market.

I had the V4 and I was not very happy with it the first thing that happened was the keypad sticker fell off and when I went to pick up my motorhome from storage I had to fiddle around with it to try and remember how the numbers were on the keypad. the next thing that happened was the key locks jammed and the batteries were dead those things are a bear to try and get into so I ended up drilling the locks out so I could get the stupid thing opened then when I called the customer service rep said they don't make replacement locks and I was on my own. I'm glad you guys are having better luck with them than I did. The new lock does look nice maybe I will give them another try.

Bauer NE Bluetooth locks are far superior in quality to the original RV Locks and can be ordered to match the Bauer one-key code included on Grand Design RVs. They also cover the original unpainted area without stickers and you can use your phone for lock/unlock and auto-unlock as you approach the door. Been using the Bauer for over three years after having to replace the RV locks twice. No FOBs needed.

I have the original RVlock brand and I hate them. They have been a complete bomb for us. The batteries died insanely fast. We aren’t full timers and I was even turning it off when we stored the camper, but it didn’t make any difference. With the batteries always dying the key fobs would no longer be synced either. We looked at other brands also and I was less than impressed with those. I might give these new version a try. I do like the upgrades that were pointed out.
