    That happened to me up in Michigan last year. How did you get in with a screwdriver?

    Call AAA.

    What no AAA?

    Get a membership and add RV on it, then you don't pay anything.

    Pop the trim off around the door handle. Look at the bottom of the handle you will see a c clip holding the tumbler in pull it out.....then you will see a slot under the tumbler ,pry up on it slightly to put enough pressure to pull out the tumbler, now look inside where the tumbler was, you will see a slot ,pry up in a counter clockwise motion then your in!

    Not bad. There's a jackarse that's parked next to me that has his bass turned up so loud that it's shaking my sleeper. He's driving one of those. I'm gonna go see if I can tear that lock up so he can't get in.

    Kidding. But for real, taking a screenshot and saving. I'll see if I ever need to get in one.

    Good luck with that in a 2015+ cascadia. Took me like 3 hours to get in this truck once.

    Been there done that too,
    I had a sidebox with a boltcutter in it,
    took it to the top hinge on vent window.
    Got new one from junkyard for 2 bucks later to fix it.
