Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The entry door lock is faulty to the point that we have been "locked out" of our rig over 20 times during our past trip! we ask suncoast of ocala to fix it before we traveled in dec. of 04 but found that it wasn't fixed when we took a month long trip this past september. we have contacted winnebago and have been told that our lock was not on any recall list so they can do nothing. they did have entry door locks recalled and we assume that ours must be a part of that as there are no parts available for this model any longer and to fix it a new lock has got to purchased from winnebago. we purchased our winnebago brave new in october of 03 and had not used it much before our recent trip. please help us to resolve this problem with winnebago. we are so thankful that our small grandchildren were not inside when we were unable to reenter the rig! i entered sep 4, 2005 because that was the day of our departure. the incidents were on going the entire month long trip. thank you, dottie and larry ryherd. *jb
