Just a reminder for those that have not installed an exterior switch in the power bay below the drivers power window so that they can operate the window from outside the coach.
Today, a gentleman knocked on my door asking for help. He was parked behind me in a brand new 2021 King Aire and he was locked out of his coach. The dead bolt was stuck in the locked position and the key would not budge it. He and his wife were locked outside and their two dogs were inside....on Easter Sunday afternoon. No help from Newmar (not much they could do anyway). Nothing I could do either. Several hours later a locksmith was able to cut through the deadbolt.
The exterior switch mod is easy to do in an hour or less and could save a lot of grief.
