I ended up limping back to the hotel cut down a small tree in their parking lot used a section of log showed inside the frame railand four rolls of duct tape wrapped around it and drove it like that all the way back to Indiana. Then used the truck for another year hauling firewood around the farm then drove it to the scrap yard.

[@Provaider1987]

I visited St George Island with my "wife at the time" too. We have rent us an RV in Orlando and make a round trip. After arrival in St George i parked the RV an we go to the beach, male some photos, go for a swim and just relaxed for a bite after the 3h drive from Ichetucknee Springs. It was our 4th day with the RV and first RV trip. I decided to open the side door to the living compartment an let her in and go around to start the engine for the AC. Since i opened the side door i put the door lock pin down(lazy guy don´t want the sand in the carpet) and shut the door. I walk around an ask my "wife at the time" why she is standing outside in the sun and not inside in the shower. Well i turned the cheap RV look in the wrong direction and it is still look. The engine and AC is running, the key is inside an we are outside. Someone got made on me... You should call the rental company or a locksmith.....This cost us $$$... Next thing i check are the roof vent, all closed but i was willing to rip one open if i have to. Probably cheaper the make the call for the rental company. Next thing i checked are the sliding windows, all locked but the have the some cheap butterfly locks. Some tappy tap tap later the lock flips open, put the screen away slide the window open an lift my "wife at the time" into the RV. The rest of the vacation we put duc tape on the butterfly locks. She was made on me but couldn't believe how i noticed this crappy design flaw that saved our day and some money too. And we have a good story how i broke into the RV ;)
