Has anyone put a Keyless entry (combination keypad) on there class A motor home?

Nope, mine came with a key fob remote door unlock/lock.

Yes. We have one. Use it all the time. Sometimes my wife's fingers are too cold to activate it, but works for me every time.

One that I know of deactivated the keyless to the point that it will never work again, on purpose. It would never work right so he just tore it up to stop it from stopping him entering his RV.

I will rephrase the question, Has anyone installed a Combination Lock, and where did you get the parts and how did you do it on a class A. My door has a dead bolt like a house, but the inside of the door won't allow me to use one of the combination locks from a house with the oversize piece on the inside. thanks Mike

I know the combination lock you are talking about for the house. I have one on my house. I was going to put one on my class A but is a totally different type of locking mechanism. I have debated but have not decided yet to use a electromagnet door lock and then a key pad on it. They use them as security locks on places like the post office. You can get the magnet that uses 12 volts and very minimal current draw. Looks like it would be easy to mount. With the amount of holding force they have you will not get it open. I would like to mount that on all of my bays but cost is going to be a factor there. I am doing some other upgrades first but you might want to consider this.

There is a company that makes the upgrade for Travel trailers. or fifth wheels. The unit replaces the door latch and has keypad and a keyfob. I talked to them on the phone and they were considering making a unit for MH but had not done that yet
