Installed mine tonight. Took about 5 minutes and I'm very happy with it. Fits perfectly in my Montana.

 

any trouble programming your code?

 

My lock did not come with programming instructions. To program the FOB you just hit the button on the inside and then hit the lock button on the FOB.

To program the code I googled RV Lock code programming instructions and it took me about 2 minutes to get done. The first link was a PDF on the Lance Camper site and I had no trouble with it.

 

We placed an order for our Safetyon version of the RV Lock. I will put up thoughts on the product once it arrives and is installed.

Thanks for posting this option up and saving us some coin.

 

Received the door lock the other day and it appeared to be of good quality. The instructions say RV Lock on them and are half written in Chinese.

I hope to have it installed in the next day or two.

 

For what it's worth, here is a link to the same product but with Prime shipping: http://a.co/6xlDy3R
This one appears to ship long before the one on the link above. I don't have one but I'm thinking about it. Thanks for this thread!

 

Jim, good call on the Prime shipping.

This sort of lock is great for us for situations like when we leave the camper and want to go hiking, swimming, paddle boarding, etc and don't want to risk losing a key. We have hidden keys that would allow us access, but this is so much more simple. We still plan to have the back up hidden key, but use the combination 99% of the time.

 

mine should be here in the next day or so, will put it on this weekend.

I really do miss the remotes since it quit working. This will solve the issue.

 

OK, bit of a run around, but I got it installed and working well. The build quality seems good and I have no concerns about it breaking.

The programming was a bit challenging because the instructions were garbage.

We are happy with our purchase so far and grateful we could save a bit of money. We installed lithium AA batteries in hopes that they last a long time.

Follow this video to program the keypad and the FOB.

 

I wonder if rechargeable batteries would work. If I pull the batteries out before leaving home and plug them into the 110v outlet in the truck on the way to the came site they might be fully charged by the time I get there. Will my charger work with the MSW inverter? Himm, I might have to try that.

If you pull the batteries from the door lock, will the door retain the programming?

 

I don't see why they wouldn't. I may explore that option if they lithium batteries don't last long.

I have not tried removing the batteries from the lock and seeing if it retains the user programmed code.

 

Just to update this for those that maybe interested. I ordered the knockoff one from Amazon that was suggested. The pricing was better but it never came. The vendor was bestcome. It was suppose to be sent within about 10 days standard free shipping. I don't have the prime account since I don't order enough to justify it.

It didn't show so then I got to checking, it hadn't even been shipped. I cancelled the order. I remembered I sent RVlock an inquiry to see if they offered a military discount. They did so I just went ahead and bit the bullet and ordered directly with them.

I now have enroute the V4.0 for $239.00 plus a bonus free fob besides the one that comes with it and a military discount. In all $192.00.

A difference of $27.00 and it is US Made. Look forward to its arrival. Not sure when since I ordered it Saturday so the order will be updated sometime this morning.

 

Scott, too bad about the hassle and I probably would have done the same as you if I had been posed with that situation.

I am sure the genuine RV Lock will be great for you. We used ours for the first time over the past 7 days on a shakedown trip for our new to us camper. It was very, very nice to just turn around and lock the door without a key and head off to do our thing.

I just learned this yesterday, but you can lock the handle by holding the lock key for 3 seconds. You don't need to input the code to lock it, kind of cool.

 

got mine today, raining now but will get it put on in a few days if not tomorrow.

 

The lower lock on my handle crapped out on me so this accelerated my purchase. I went with the real RV Lock V4.0 instead of the knockoff. Yes, it's $100 more, but if I have problems I'll get better support from RV Lock than the "other guys".
