I had what was the almost worst case scenario happen to us last year on our X-Lite. It was a Friday about 2ish, my wife just finished packing the camper for our weekend of camping and locked the dead bolt, to wait till I get home. She remembered something she needed in there and blamO, the dead bolt wouldn't un- lock! The tumbler was just spinning in the door handle! She called me panicking, and I told her to call the dealer since it was only about a month old. The dealer said do what you have to, to get in, just don't damage the actual door. She tried a lot of stuff and gave up, when I got home I came prepared to drill it out and get in some how, luckily my wife had a small window she accidently left open! We got our 7 (6 at the time) year old daughter through the window and she unlocked it for us. After she got us in I tore the door latch apart and found out what it was and bypassed it for the weekend and took it to the dealer on Monday.
Problem; Turned out that there is a wire that goes from the tumbler to the actual dead bolt, and that wire had came loose from the tumbler! I just left the dead bolt assembly apart until the dealer fixed it. After that, we never ever use the dead bolt! The way I see it if a criminal wants in the camper that bad they will find a way.
