You need to use the CLASS C/A RVLOCK KEYLESS ENTRY DOOR HANDLE- RIGHT.

This is the same model I used. I ordered direct from RVLOCK with a holiday discount.

Don't forget to also get the DECAL STICKER - CLASS C/A. It will help hide any difference between the size of the new & old lock.

I also purchased RVLock Key Cylinder Latches for the Compartment/Baggage doors with the keyed-alike option.

I now can open the compartments & main door with the same key.

I love my RVlocks.

Well, I received the top selection which did not fit my RV (sigh) so I'm returning it and then getting this one from RV LOck along with the decal.

and btw the one that comes on my Forester 3051 is garbage along with a lot of things on this coach...

Which one did you order first that wasn't correct?

so could you guys/gals recommend



some to me?


Thanks
WHATEVER you do STAY AWAY from RVLOCK!
I have owned several for my TT and when I moved to a Class C, I bought one for it. I think they moved to CHINESE mfg because they sent me about 3 to fix problems and I finally gave up. I am looking at another mfg. These things fall apart!!!! I used to sing their praises but belive me their quality control has gone to crap! BUYER BEWARE!!!!

Keyless locks

I just installed one on my Mini-Lite and it's great. It only locks the deadbolt, and like others I prefer to lock both locks, for travel and storage. But around the park it's nice, walk the dog, ride the bike, take a shower, most convenient. Took longer to program than to install. Thirty plus years in IT and humbled by a door lock.

We have a 2018 Forester 3051 and installed the RVLock and it was a breeze to install. Perfect fit. We are glad we did.

I installed the RVlock on my 2801qs, it works great and haven’t had any problems with it. On the install the inside handle was a few millimeters too long and hit the screen door, I used a Dremel on the screen door to get the clearance but I’ve seen others that shaved a bit from the end of the handle.

We put on a RVLock this year in May and absolutely love it. For me, this was the best extra we have purchased. I have arthritis and always had trouble opening up the door and this opens so easy. My husband had to do a little filing on the door jam but it works great now. Cindy

I too ordered the RVLock. Had it waiting when I brought rv home. Sadly the cutout for my entrance door was HUGE (another instance of no two units will be the same syndrome). I loved the keyless entry on my past diesel pushers.
Great customer service from RVLock but the only solution is to get a metal plate fabricated to go behind lock. The decal would have covered the hole with a sticker which is like posting a sign inviting someone to stick a screwdriver in and just rip the whole thing off. Defeats the whole purpose of a lock if you have a hole right beside it.
I do not in any way feel secure with the original locks but have tabled the issue for time being.

If anyone knows of a lock that has a larger surround I’d love to hear...

Works great

I just purchased the version four and two remotes for a Father's day special at 20% off. I got everything for less than $200 shipped. It took just over 10 minutes to get it installed and like others have posted a bit longer to get it programmed.

so far I'm happy with the results it looks good was easy to install but I did have to adjust the strike plate on the door frame. Mine stuck out too far and I had to take it off and hit it so it became even with the door frame then reinstall.

I kept the old lock together with the keys and I'm going to order one of the OEM strike plates so I can replace everything when I go to sell or trade in the trailer and keep the lock set.

So far I do like it I really like the convenience of being able to just lock the door and walk around without any keys. After programming the two key fobs they work perfect and from a very good distance too. So far I'm happy with it.

Here's the one I ordered and installed. Works great for the front doors. I chose this one that was a dollar more because some reviewers mentioned they had good instructions, which they do.

What you are showing is not the version 4. That's the compact version. It has more plastic than the version 4 and there are really only 4 keypads since 1/2 are shared...You have a lot less possible codes if you think that matters.
