Review on Convenient RVLock Key Fob and Compact Keyless Entry Keypad: Essential Accessories for Your RV/5th Wheel Lock by Eric Smithlin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The case is plastic, not metal

In general, everything is fine. It seems to work well, but there are a few caveats: the body (two halves bolted together on each side of the door) of my factory lock was metal, and fine threaded bolts held the two halves together. Given that this is billed as an upgrade, I wasn't expecting the two halves to be plastic with simple screws holding them together by screwing into a plastic mold on the outer half. For such an expensive item, I had expected a more stable processing. Also, I found the keys to be thinner than my original lock. I'm leaving it enabled for now, but I only consider it a handy feature update, not a true security update. That doesn't mean I camp in cluttered spots or leave my caravan in an exposed area for long periods of time, but your mileage may vary.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Vulgarity
