That's right. Be sure you have a Phillips Screwdriver inside your rig, not lying out on the outside table. It will come in handy when you come inside and close the door and the little spring pin and the latch decide to disconnect from each other. When this happens the lever used to open the door just flops back and forth and the door will not open.
At this point you have three choices, 1. pull out the phillips and take the screws and plate off the door, (like I said if the phillips inside and not lying out on the outside table) 2. look out your windows for signs of life that may come and open the door from the outside. 3. Start thinking about lowering yourself from one of the emergency windows.
In my case #1 was not a option due to the above mention reason. With #2 There were no signs of life and getting help would have involved much yelling and probably scaring people half to death. (This was 6pm and the park office was closed and park manager was not home) # 3 just left me feeling there has got to be another way, I don't want to drop out of a window, I'll break something on me.
So I stood there with sort of a dazed look, not really thinking too hard, just staring out the front window not liking that I could not open the door. Finally I decided I was just going to have to YELL. So I opened the window and just as I was about to go into my first cry for help, my neighbor pulls up in her driveway. I'm saved.
Once outside I find my trusty phillips. Take the plate off and find I can fix it, sort of. The pin (small round piece of medal) that slides up through the handle will not fit properly. I get it to work for the night and bring the phillips inside, but taking it apart again and trying to get it aligned properly is on my list of things to do today.
The morale of this story is to one check the screws on the door plate every now then for tightness, and two, keep a phillips inside your rig just in case you fail to do number one.
