• Best Way to Access a Valterra RV Sewer Hose Storage Hatch That is Locked Without a Key
• It looks like you have the Valterra RV Sewer Hose Storage Hatch w/ Lock # D04-0471VP, which means you'd have a lock like the Replacement Cam Lock with Key # A510 instead of the Valterra Replacement Cam Lock # A520VP. The correct keys would have that black top as well, like with the # D04-0471VP and # A510. I am not sure of any lock picking tricks, but the best way to get a lock unlocked is a locksmith. Looking at the lock, I do not see why you wouldn't be able to drill it out. You would...

• Toubleshooting Lost RV Camper Keys
• Most Global Link lock cores don't have the number for security reasons, so that does create a larger issue in getting replacements. You can reach out to your camper manufacturer to see if they kept record of the locks used, as that will be your best option if there isn't a number printed on the lock cylinder. If you can determine the lock used, then we can help...for instance, if your key or lock core had number 391 you will need the Replacement Key for Global Link RV Locks - 391 # 295-000079....

• Troubleshooting Global Links Hatch Lock Not Opening
• I honestly have not heard of many issues at all when it comes to the locking mechanisms on the Global Link Door Latch Kits like # 295-000019 that would be on your brand new MPG RV. If the existing locks feature two lock cylinders like the mentioned unit I recommend making sure that both are completely un-engaged with the key before trying to open it. Since you mentioned seeing some corrosion you might also apply a healthy dose of WD-40 or similar lubricant to the lock cylinders to try...

• Hazard Lights Locking Up Trailer Brakes and Activating Electric Brake Controller On RV
• If the red wire from your brake controller is tapped into a wire that has voltage when the hazard lights are activated then this situation will occur. You will need to attach the red wire from the brake controller to a brake signal wire, under the dash at the brake pedal switch, that only has power when the brake pedal is pressed on your RV, so that when the hazards are on your trailer brakes do not lock up.

• How Do I Access the Internals of the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle, part # AM-300
• I went out and pulled a Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle For RVs, part # AM-300, from our warehouse. I took it out of the packaging and found that the only way you can access the internal pieces is to have the # AM-300 removed from your RV. The backside of the mounting bracket is open and you can easily access the internals of the handle once it is removed from your RV. While I was inspecting the # AM-300 I came to the conclusion that the most likely reason your handle would not lock...

• Troubleshooting RoadMaster NightHawk Tow Bar Arms That Won't Lock Into Place
• Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676 has a self aligning design which means that once you hook up the to bar to your vehicle and your RV and drive forward the arms will extend and lock into place automatically. If it is not automatically locking into place then you most likely just need to lube it. You have to use a silicone spray to lube your tow bar as other lubes like WD-40 will cause the internal bearings to swell or will collect dirt/debris that...

• Motor Clicking on Tread Lite Electric Double Steps
• A clicking motor on your Tread Lite Electric Double Steps # LC353543 or # LC353621 is indicative there is an issue with the motor not sensing the proper amperage at the end of the extension cycle, which is what tells it to shut off when it is finished extending. So the best option is going to be to replace the motor with the Replacement Motor for Lippert Tread Lite Powered RV Steps # LC183058. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well if you'd like to take...

• Troubleshooting Camco Rhinoflex Sewer Hose that Came Apart at Locking Ring
• I'm sorry for that horrible experience that would make anyone an unhappy camper. The RhinoFLEX RV Sewer Hose Extension w/ Swivel Lug and Bayonet Fittings - 5' Long # CAM39765 has a locking ring as you mentioned that has the directions for use printed right on it. It sounds like the locking ring fitting it to the hose was not secured properly and was most likely why it came apart. This system is designed so that you can replace the hose and keep the fittings if ever needed. Cold should...

• How to Test a Brake Controller for When Brakes Lock Up all the Time
• Testing the brake controller is fairly easy. Sever the blue brake output wire near the brake controller leaving enough room to reconnect it and then apply the manual slide. Using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993, you should get output to the controller side of the wire you severed. If the manual slide activates the trailer brake output wire properly, try the brake pedal. If the brake pedal activates the brake output properly also then the problem is farther back either in the vehicle...

• Removing Global Door Lock Cylinder - No Original Key
• You can always call a lock smith but that is not cheap. I would not try to force them to turn as you could damage the reminder of the latch housing. You will have to drill them out. Start with a small bit, like a 1/8, and work your way up to a 1/4 inch or 5/16. Eventually you'll remove enough of the cylinder that you can get the lock open. Do not drill very deep as you still need the structure that supports the new lock cylinder. If in the worst case you end up damaging the latch then...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Brakes Locking Up Without Applying Vehicle Brakes
• The brakes on your new RV trailer can be activated either by the brake controller or the trailer's own on-board emergency breakaway system. I have not heard of an issue with the Echo # C51180 before now, and while it is possible the unit has an internal malfunction I suspect the problem is more likely to be in either the trailer's breakaway system or within the 7-way wiring on the Audi or the trailer. For the trailer brakes to lock up without you pressing the brake pedal they would need...

• Why Would Surge Brakes Not Allow Trailer to Back Up
• In order for your trailer to be able to reverse without the brakes locking up you'll need to have the reverse light circuit active to the trailer wiring through the 5-way adapter. We have the part # 20036 for this which you'd run the extra wire to the reverse light circuit and it would allow the reverse lock out solenoid to activate and the trailer to back up.

• Why Do The Arms Of My Roadmaster Nighthawk Tow Bar Keep Falling To The Ground
• The Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676 has a Locking tab up top that prevents the arms from pivoting down fully to the ground. If you don't fold the arms up and get the locking tab nut in the hole in the locking tab and then fold the arms down to either side the pivot point will allow the arms to fall all the way down. Having played with this before I can say it is a bit of a pain to get he pivot point lined up exactly to the locking tab perfectly so you might...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Brakes That Grab Too Much When Braking
• Yes. It's possible that your brakes need adjustment but it's also possible that you've got self adjusting brakes and it could simply be an issue with the output level on your brake controller. If you've got a Tekonsha PowerTrac # 39523 there is a knob on the right of the front panel that will allow you to adjust the output of your controller and turning it down a bit may help with this as well. If you've got manually adjusting brakes then you'll have caps on the backing plate that you...
