[@najruqwi7008]

That's a great lock love the key fab 👍

[@thewanderingshores]

Yeah we're really enjoying it as well. Much better option than the RV lock version we had previously

[@ThreeDayRV]

You'll love this lock. Our previous lock would not work if the side was heated up by the sun I had to use the key. We got rid of our old lock and replaced it with this Onnais and we haven't had a single issue. These are the locks that I'm going to stock in my shop for customers from this day forward ! I'm glad this worked out for you guys ! Safe travels! -Keith

[@thewanderingshores]

Thanks Keith, you are so correct, this lock is much better than the RVLock that we had, while we have only had it on the door for about a week, it has been perfect. - Kyle

[@airstreamer]

That looks like a great new upgrade to your door! Ahh shoot, now we don't have your key lock code. LOL! 😂 No escaping Marlie! - Michelle

[@thewanderingshores]

Oh trust me marlie will figure out some way to get out -

[@airstreamer]

@@thewanderingshores Hahaha! 🤣

Good video Kyle. We have had eight Fifth Wheels over the years and the door latch is almost always an issue. Our door opened up on our Brinkley in downtown Anchorage last year and a motorist pulled next to us at a light and closed it and pulled up and told us. We are battling issues getting ready to head to AZ. This bitter cold (-2 this morning) is playing havoc with our truck (I still had summer blend diesel) and Lithium Bat in our trailer. Hope to head out Sunday! Burlington Bill busking on the road and here on You tube.

How scary to have the door open while driving, that happed to us and lucky what we do is fold the stair handle across the door so incase it happens it does not come completely open. I have a feeling with this lock though we are less likely to have an issue. Safe Travels and stay warm...

[@Journey2Everywhere]

Thanks for the video, Kyle! We've had our eye on these Onnais locks for a bit now, just need to camper to place it on! LOL Amazon as well has a nice sale going on now with the lock. Enjoy those warm temps!

[@thewanderingshores]

Well once that RV arrives, we really recommend this lock. We have not had it installed long but loving it so far. Thanks for your support as always. -Kyle and Michelle

I upgraded my security system on my fifth wheel. I have Starlink permanently installed on it and I’ve added 6 Blink cameras. 4 of the Outdoor 4 cameras and 2 of the Mini 2 cameras. The Mini’s are on front and rear. The front I use to watch the pin box while hitching up and the rear is used to monitor the utility trailer for the quad while going down the highway. I have an outdoor one in the weather proof case that is looking right at the hitch ball. Two are mounted on each corner of the front slides looking back and one is inside facing the door. It’s not that I’m worried about people causing trouble, that’s what the 12 ga is for. 😁. But it’s so I can monitor stuff and I’ve been hoping to catch some wildlife on them.

[@thewanderingshores]

It sounds like you have a pretty awesome set up, I hope you catch some great wildlife with the cameras. We have three cameras on your rig as well and always enjoy checking them each morning to see if we caught any wildlife too. We will have an new video coming out (hopefully this week) on a new "toy" that will help us with that as well. More on that soon- kyle

[@paulshannon4576]

@ will be watching for it. I got a video a couple of years back on my iPhone of a coyote that was howling and just decided to set down in front of the fifth wheel.

[@GimpyCamper]

Hope it works out. My last one seemed much better at install but didn’t work well afterwards.

[@thewanderingshores]

Barrett, I know I watched your video on the novus as well as the RV lock for your review video. Have you tried the Onnais? We had to replace our number pad three times on our RV lock like you did with the sun beating down on it. When they finally gave us the silicone one it was better. But we still had issues with the door sticking on cold Days or when the sun was shining directly on it- Kyle

[@GimpyCamper]

@ I haven’t. I have intermittent issues with the rv lock but after i altered the door catch it has been fine

[@Greg_Jones]

I bet they don't include the batteries due to shipping restrictions with lithium batteries. It might get more "normal" in the near future.

[@thewanderingshores]

Yeah that's a great point. Never really thought about that. Luckily I have a stockpile of different batteries I've learned over the years to make sure I have some on hand because they seem to go out pretty quickly
