Easy entry solution when locked out of the m/h.

[Spriddler]

My elder son and his wife bought a Chausson and Smart toad in Feb and are at Winchester on their second trip.
Returning this afternoon from a day out with the Smart they found they had locked themselves out of the m/h. Goodness knows how but luckily he'd left the bathroom window slightly open and a table outside.
Ever resourceful...............

 

[g3cwi]

Just shows how easy it is.

 

[RobbyMClark]

Good job he's built like a whippet!!!

 

[RustyRuss]

Hope the lid was shut on the Carzy!!!

Cheers!

I’d have to wait for about 3 months on a nil by mouth diet to fit through that window!!

Cheers!

Is it wise to broadcast such knowledge for unscrupulous robbers to use against others?

 

[Ingwe]

Sure it's your Chausson?

Not sure whether you're being serious or not so haven't given it a 'Funny'.

But if you go out for the day and leave a window open.................

Well he is only about 5' 5" and 10 stone.

Police turned up to a local estate agents after alarm went off. No one around except the 6 year old in the shop who been pushed through the window. Social services had fun with that.

Would look very different if I tried that, would just about get my head in

We're on our spares now, the habitation keys are at home it's a dirty job retrieving them out of a load of grease stuck to the chassis, but it's saved the day. Trying our hardest not to lose the spares now

You’d need to see if Spriddler Jnr. was available....best ask his dad.

Many years ago a colleague was telling me how much he had paid to get a locksmith out to open the vehicle for him as he did not want the boss to know how 'stupid' (his words) he had been to lock the keys inside. You should have seen the look on his face when I looked at him and said 'what about the idiot keys' (the keys that were hidden on each vehicle in case of loss or stupidity)
The best part he was one of the privileged that knew we kept these hidden on the vehicles Oops

Last year whilst at a temporary holiday site near Lymington we returned to find a caravaner with his brand new caravan had locked himself out. He was eating his lunch outside so I suggested he use his knife to lift the window catches, this we achieved after bending the knife and he was able to climb in.
The door of the van had a lock that was easily set and when closed locked like a Yale type front door lock.
As it was a Sunday he contacted the van suppliers who were 30 miles away for help and they said they would arrive later in the week, this was his first use of the van!
So the usual window locks on vans are easily undone, and the van entered.

I have a hidden key attached to vehicle & disguised , just in case.
Many years ago while helping steward at a THS site on the Isle of Wight , a caravan owner got locked out , I had to get up on the roof (carefully) using small ladder , leaning across the roof to the vent , I attached a hook (bent nail ) to a windbreak pole & carefully reach through the vent & unhook the lock catch , RESULT , just a thank you & a smile from owners (no beer no nuffin ) all in a days work of a steward

When I was young, many many years ago, my mother locked us all out of our house. She put my sister through a window, sis came out pulling the Yale to behind her!!

He's probably busy at the mo, possibly with kitchen roll and a bucket of water, having failed to tell his wife when he went to empty the cassette.
Or some other such catastrophe. Never a dull moment with him. (Or his brother).
He called me on his mobile one recent very hot evening for me to go round with my spare key to his flat (25 miles away) as he had gone onto the landing to get a signal and was in just his boxers when the breeze blew the door shut. He had a curry simmering on the hob. Two weeks later he did it AGAIN!
Oh, how they've aged me.

 

[Richard n Ann]

Dad put me through an open top lite once to unlock the kitchen door, I was only about 8. I remember mum saying Well done Richard! ...

Your lad looks like he has a large corn on his left foot .

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

Unbelievable post, leaving a window open and a table out, nothing more to say really.

 

[Speve]

Unbelievable that everyone is talking on open forum about keys hidden on their vans

 

[phil1946]

Should have read Jim's article in this month's FREE Magazine!

 

[TinaLes]

We have to get a second spare hab key cut (if thats sensibly priced) so I can hide it underneath the van.
Trouble is our Hartal hab door will self lock if the wind slams it shut, stupid design, so easy to do, have to remember to always exit the van via the cab door just in case.
