Pry on the corner of your escape window just enough to get a coat hanger in to release one handle (assume there are 2) then you will have more room to maneuver to get to the second one and open it.

This happened to me once---even after getting in the motorhome I couldn't get the door open; finally had to take a pry bar to the door----cost; new door and frame and instalation $1100' and yes I did try to drill it out; locksmith gave up on it; that is when I took the pry bar to it.

When our trimark broke the latch mechanism, we were able to get a small screw driver between the door and jam at the latch position and slowly pry it back into the door. I was locked in the coach and my wife was outside. She climbed through a window and we drove to an RV service center where we called them on our cell phone and told them we were locked in our coach and couldn't get out. They had a good laugh on us as they pried the latch loose.

Try this first!!!! I had a Revolution. Push in on the door very hard and try to turn both locks with key. Had this happen a couple of times. This opened the door. Bolt is dragging on keeper. Hope this works for you.

If you apologize and she thinks you mean it, she might let you back in.

The same thing happened to me 2 months ago when we came home from camping but we were on the inside. . .I wiggled & jiggled the latch until it barely worked one time then when the door was open, emptied a half can of spray lube on every thing that moved and it worked perfectly. . .now I know that you are on the outside and can't get at the mechanism, but here is an idea. . .drill a very tiny hole just large enough for the straw on a can of spray lube to reach inside and let her rip. . .me thinks that it would be a lot cheaper to repair a 1/16" hole than to pry or bust out a window.

You would think the OP would let us know the end result as he asked for help about 24 hrs ago.

Jimmy the window they are not hard to do and if you have to break in, go in through the bed. It is usually a small turn lock and I leave mine unlocked. I can push it up and climb in that way. Get a bit dirty but you have a way in that not many people will want to take.
