Dead house batteries, no enrty

[jerry bies]

Took my 2015 Dutch Star 4369 into Freightliner for a leaky oil seal on fan drive gearbox and replacement of front crankshaft seal that was leaking. They had to park it outside in 30 degree weather for a week while parts arrived.
When parts arrive came time to move it in,couldn't get in .Keyless entry dead, chassis batterys are at 12.3 volts-ok, house batterys are at below 3 volts-
bad. I did not have the manual door keys on my key phob ring. I am locked out. I had no way to enter my coach.
Freightliner jumped house batterys to get 12 volts on keyless entry and they drove it inside .
When I get my coach back ,I will look for my door keys that are thrown in glove compartment somewhere

Thanks for the heads up! Getting the keyless entry - but I think the keys go in the toad!

Good tip. We keep some keys in a magnetic box hidden outside the coach. I am going to disconnect that remote.

I keep a set of all keys in the toad. BTW, your house batteries may be toast? Unfortunately .

This coach and my last coach had keyless entry. I was always concerned about a lockout issue. There are several spots in the engine compartment where a magnetic key box will attach and not fall off.

On a side note........we ALMOST locked the toad keys in the toad on one trip. It dawned on me the second set was hanging on the door hook at home. Since we're lucky enough to keep our coach at home, I now keep the toad's second set of keys in the coach.

I `am surprised they needed to junp it to get in. The locks usually take two different keys, one is a 'Master key" fits all the RV's on the lot. Dealers and factory service centers usually have 'em.

Suggestion: When you find the keys put 'em on a ring but get copies. Get a wall mounted Realtor's box and mount it in the propane bay.. Just in cuss.
